Of course, not for his killing, which was well carried, but regarding those who supported and funded him. Bin Laden is a typical cold-war product, he was supported eagerly by the Reagan administration while he was fighting the USSR in Afghanistan. Ironically, the jingoistic hero Rambo made good friends with the muhajedeen in the third part of the series, and the Taleban travelled to the USA without any restriction, despite ruling a Governmet of opression, terror and zero human rights.
So, I detect some hypocrisy coming from those people and political positions that have been satisfied by his death but contributed decisively to his terrorist activity.
Bin Laden is a good example of why should be more focused on diplomacy and trade, rather than military power. We need a safe homeland and strong military presence, but current allies can become our enemy tomorrow.
