I'm more hoping that something inspires an 'American Spring'.

I admit to being slightly reflexively thrilled when I first heard the news. It was a feeling that was pretty much identical to how I feel when I see a bond villain get his comeuppance.

Then I thought more about it. Will his death change anything? Probably not on our end. Does it mean we're "safer" (pretty sure we're already really safe from terrorrism)? No. Given the history of the pentagon's reporting of incidents like this, is it highly likely that they will tell the most thrilling version and least accurate version possible? Yes. Can we now stop pretending that it's a good idea to give up our rights in exchange for the perception of security? No, apparently not.
