Osama bin Laden Killed by US

This blog will be updated after I listen to President Obama's press conference.

The world is a better place than it was a week ago, while Osama bin Laden was still breathing the same air as humanity. While he may have lessened his direct direction of al-Quaida, this is still a positive development and worth celebrating.

For those of you who think it is unkind or cruel for me to celebrate the death of a fellow human being, I would argue. First, bin Laden lost all claim to humanity when he plotted the brutal deaths of civilians. Second, while true justice does not exist on this plane, this is about as close as it gets. I WILL celebrate the termination of this bipedal virus.

Predictions:

1 - President Obama will overstate his claim to credit for this event.
2 - Time magazine will name bin Laden "Man of the Year"
3 - The left will push even harder to withdraw troops from Afghanistan and Iraq.
4 - President Obama will (though not tonight) declare victory and begin troop withdrawal.
5 - President Obama will see a rise in his polls, both personal and job-related.
6 - The Pakastani government knew Obama was living in their country all along.
7 - A new, lesser known individual will emerge as the "face" of al-Quaida. It will be weeks before this happens.
