I agree with those who said where are other choices, because our concerns can only be with the future. But its somewhat of a sadistic pleasure to agree with BrenCat, to realize that at least Bin Laden had to suffer through some 40 minutes of the same personal terror, he so viciously visited on his victims. Maybe ole Bin Laden though he could still again escape, but once shot in the head, he was probably dead before his body hit the floor.
But still the house had a treasure full of computer data, which may give us enough data to really end Al-Quida. As for other Al-Quida officials, most are probably running for their lives and figuring their safe houses are now probably compromised. Possibly meaning it will take many mounts if not years to to re-establish communications again. As for Al-Quida financing, that may be totally borked for even longer.
