Al Baghdadi was a danger to the people in the area (if any terrorist wants "inspiration" for a bit of murder, they'll still take it from him, dead or alive; don't imagine this helps the USA). It is good that the American military will still be the 'world cop' at times. Shame about the corrupt fucker controlling it.

Our military did the job they were asked to do and for that I am grateful and proud. The fact they were asked to do half the things they are asked to do, that is not always something I am proud of.

Religious extremism is still being used as a tool to make life miserable all over the world. The wealthiest of the world will continue to find it useful in cornering the wealth of the planet's resources. This just gives it a small speedbump in one corner of the world. The deaths and misery for millions of civilians goes on.
