Victory's high cost

Al-Qaeda is being decimated. And Osama bin Laden is sleeping with the fishes thanks to President Obama and SEAL Team Six. We're definitely getting the last laugh. But as Andrew Sullivan notes, "[Bin Laden] got the US to spend $4.4 trillion in a decade on counter-terrorism, using just a handful of men with boxcutters - and a whole lot of fear. For good measure, he goaded incompetents like Dick Cheney into violating core US standards of morality."
