Osama bin Laden is dead.

I wonder what difference it will make. Ten years later and it feels largely symbolic at this point, but it’s still good to have a madman gone. What difference will it make? I’m sure within some circles he’s now considered a martyr, but how much will that strengthen the cause? How much was bin Laden still in control of terrorist efforts and actions, thus will his demise actually weaken anything? It’s too soon to tell, but I do hope it leads to positive things for the world.

It feels like not just a chapter has closed, but a whole volume. What will be interesting is to see how the next volume will develop in light of this incident.

Hail hail the witch is dead!
