Here’s Christopher Hitchens’ take on the death of Osama Bin Laden. As opposed to the mainstream media, Hitchens is actually able to add some perspective :
And he has a warning for us to not be too complacent :
The martyr of Abbottabad is no more, and the competing Führer-complexes of his surviving underlings will perhaps now enjoy an exciting free rein. Yet the uniformed and anonymous patrons of that sheltered Abbottabad compound are still very much with us, and Obama’s speech will be entirely worthless if he expects us to go on arming and financing the very people who made this trackdown into such a needlessly long, arduous and costly one.
