Obama killed Osama...remember a few years back when people had trouble differentiating their names?
On September 11, 2001, Osama Bin Laden set the tone of the decade to come. The retaliation on the United States part in Afghanistan and subsequently in Iraq stem from his actions. American culture was also changed, movies, television, books and the national conversation existed under the premise of 9/11... had the attacks never occurred how would the first decade of the 21st century been different? In the week since his death we have also learned that in his long absence, our perception of Bin Laden as the ultimately powerful terrorist leader, a perception that he carefully crafted with his videos, was a perception that was also flawed.
We can see here in one of the videos confiscated by Seal Team 6 that Bin Laden spent his time living in a run down compound with few luxuries other than his small television and satellite feed.
