REASON TV: Reaction to Bin Laden’s Death.

UPDATE: Mickey Kaus: “It’s easy to overestimate the significance of Osama’s demise: Remember when we thought finding Saddam would turn the tide in Iraq?” Well, we’ll see.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Afghans warn: “The killing of Osama should not be seen as mission accomplished.” Plus this: “The fight against terrorism is in its sanctuaries, in its training camps and its finance centers, not in Afghanistan and today it has been proved we were right.”

YET ANOTHER UPDATE: More celebration video.

On the other hand, Hamas is not so happy. “We regard this as a continuation of the American policy based on oppression and the shedding of Muslim and Arab blood.” Well, cry me a river.

MORE: Rand Simberg: Don’t Get Cocky. Always good advice. But, from the comments:

I do think this should put to rest one of the enduring myths of our time — a myth which was partly responsible for 9/11, in fact. That’s the idea that democracies can’t stomach a long struggle.

This shows that even with severe domestic divisions, economic problems, etc., the United States could stay the course and nail this bastard. Maybe, just maybe, the next wanna-be warlord will take notice.

You can’t scare us into submission with a devastating strike, and you can’t wear us down, either.

It’ll be interesting to see if this causes Khaddafy to step down. When Saddam was captured, he responded by turning his nuclear materials over. Will the death of Osama have a similar effect? Or his back too close to the wall now?
