The only way not to make Osama into a real matyr is to have him die free of kidney failure.

The difference is whether you look at the long term of the short term. In the short term you might catch the leader(s) of Islamic Terrorist Group #1532 and stop a bomb attack in X. On the downside the actions of the US since the 9/11 attacks has inflamed world opinion, galvanised the Islamic world's opinion of the US and alienated traditional allies. In the long run, which is better at keeping america safe?
