icarusOsama Bin Laden is dead.
He was taken out by a team of Navy Seals with Pakistani support. He was living in a mansion in a large wealthy area of Pakistan.
As my ani friend, who's former military says: "This is HUGE."
Obama's speech was brilliant.
One CNN correspondent says, "The war on terror is over."
I wish could be down there by the crowds in DC right now. People are pouring out into the streets --hundreds of themm--to wave flags and cheer outside the White House, largely students from George Washington University and tourists.
One chant: "Obama got Osama!"

I still find it hard to believe that people are so over the moon about one guy getting killed, especially considering that I don't think his death will make a difference in the greater scheme of things. But if it makes people feel better, why not. :-)
