What does it mean now that Bin Laden is dead? "I think it definitely means that the last reasonable sounding rationale for the war in Afghanistan has evaporated," says Derrick Crowe, political director at Brave New Foundation.

According to him, the US needs to begin actual political reconciliation and get out of the way while the timing is right.
