In the end, despite the fact that recent political events in the Arab world have made him increasingly irrelevant, the pursuit of Osama bin Laden resulting in his death sends a powerful message to the enemies of the United States. We will not stop. We will not rest. Whether a Republican or a Democrat holds the White House, we will hunt you down no matter how long it takes.

Does this mean that the war on terror is over? I think it will add some powerful political impetus to the notion that we can move on to other things, as there already exists strong sentiment to get our troops out of Afghanistan.

Eugene Robinson expresses the bipartisan pride that I think is the most common emotion in the wake of the news of bin Laden's demise.

David Ignatius says the news puts the lie to bin Laden's belief that the U.S. was the "weak horse".
