The world consistently fails to understand the American psyche, that we're a nation of free people and not to be trifled with, and that although we may have an incredibly long fuse...that there's a BIG bomb attached to the end of it.
OBLs death is a psychological boost for America'a resolve and sense of justice, but it has little to no real impact on the dark, fetid fen of ME politics.
