The death of Bin Laden united the country again. We are now all on board in willing to send armed troops into foreign countries without their consent to nab terrorists. In the olden days this sort of behavior was reserved for mad cowboys with utter disregard for international norms. I am happy.
Apples to Kumquats. Had OBL taken up residence in a palace in some random country that was willing to protect him, and sent a daily broadcast gloating over the success of the 9/11 attack and how the US can't touch him, I don't think there would have been much protest from the left over a "surgical" strike into a 'sovereign nation.'
Think back like 8 or 9 years . . . do you remember that part about Saddam H. and Irag not being behind the 9/11 attack?
