Poll: So, Bin Laden, you give a shit?

Happy he paid for his actions and is no longer a threat, happy for whatever slight closure it may have given family members of the 9/11 attacks.
SO in that sense, I suppose I do.

I give a shit in a very specific way. While everyone on facebook and in the streets seems to be running around being happy, I'm just waiting for another major bombing.
I say this because Osama was a ranking leader of a cell-based organization (or so I've been told, anyway). From what I remember, each cell acts independently unless calling upon a partnership with other cells in order to pursue a common mission. Thus, it is entirely impossible to wipe out the leadership of the "terrorist" movement unless one were to exterminate every last cell down to its junior members and sympathizers.
Osama may be dead but I fear his death will bring about acts of vengeance and rates of violence against Americans and American interests will grow. Perhaps this growth will be brief or prolonged, who's to say. Either way, I'm not jubilant; I'm wary.

The sad thing is that he only was that big important Head of Terrorism in the american perception. He wasnt important to the organisations since he was hunted like the holy grail. He was nearly immobile, without save means of communication and really nothing as the "host" of a few videos and audiofiles. The Important Leaders of the Cells and organisations are now just going on as before. The no.2 in hierachy may take over the role as the "face" of al quaida, but you havent harmed the structure of command badly, just gave a lot of raging nutjobs a new reason to join the extremists. They now got their own Che Guevara to wear on their T-shirts, paint on their walls and follow into stupidity and violence. And all that took only the lives of over 5.800 soldiers and several tenthousands Jihaddims and civilians.
Congratulations
Congratulations
I'm happy for the yanks that he is finally taken down like the rabid dog he was, but the problem is not one man or even one group, but the entire ideology that spawns people like them. The problem needs to be taken care of at the source (radical islam and political islam), or a new Osama or Al Qaeda will just rise up again in a few years.
(F- that name, keep misspelling Osama as Obama.)

Considering I hear his death announced a couple hundred times before... I'm really not that fussed.
And it changes nothing, he might have been the leader of something but they weren't fighting because of him, but because someone invaded their country.

I care because I can remember 9/11 quite vividly, and knowing that he was responsible for the attack on civilians in my home country, and instilling us with a sense of fear for a good while, I'm very glad he's finally dead.
Also, the last decade of America's foreign policy is roughly based on just trying to find and kill HIM. So now that he's out of the picture, maybe we can finally pull our asses out of the middle east!

I really don't care, besides the fact that now it's going to happen again as there is now a group of even more pissed off terrorists out there. It's not like they'll magically stop because he died.

I was tempted to use the usual image I use to say this,but it's fun to keep people on their toes! So yeah,it's not that I don't give a shit,it's that I don't give a fuck,and fucks are substantially larger than shits. That's right,Osama Bin Laden is dead,and I don't give a single fuck about it.

I guess he got... *Put on sunglasses* BINNED! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!
He wasn't actually that important, he was just one of many... so, no, I don't really care.
