This issue seems to enrage Americans so easily (not you personally) which makes it hard to discuss objectively, so I'm not looking to go down that road, just to make a point or two
The war in Iraq was promised to be a quick & easy victory - it wasn't. The Vietnam & Korean wars were meant to be quick & easy - they weren't. The war on terror - same. I admire anybody who is optimistic but I believe the weight of history indicates that both the 'war' is far from over & that power vacuums usually signify further unrest
Considering that a reasonable person might ask "is the trophy killing of OBL worth what may follow?"

Most people in this world aren't intelligent enough to think this rationally however, the sheep mentality will kick in (It's started with those incessant "USA USA" chants), Obama's popularity was falling, to the point that Donald Trump thought he'd have a crack, now Obama is the PM who captured Bin Laden, recession or not, the American public will absolutely love him now.
