All most Americans care about is that Obama -- unlike Bush -- got Bin Laden.

Bush obviously preferred to keep Bin Laden around as a kind of boogeyman, justifying never-ending war.

Whether Obama did this behind Pakistan's back or with Pakistan's help matters to very few people. Maybe Pakistan wanted Obama to take all the credit. Fine. No big deal.

And I'm among the majority of Americans who don't regret the fact that we didn't have to go through years of a protracted show trial. Bin Laden publicly took responsibility for the deaths of almost 4,000 people. There is no reason to think he was lying.
