He's a big roach in the war but only one piece of the puzzle. Ultimately, unless we are willing to negotiate to some extent the war on terror will be a bigger failure than the war on drugs. Not direct negotiations, but doing things to appease the would-be future terrorist.
These people are not afraid to die and it's not as if we have the means to kill the potential 100's of millions of people that could become terrorists without using nukes (which are obviously out of the quesiton).
We have definitely made a mistake by elevating Osama to the level of the boogeyman.
