First off it's not even close for a multitude of reasons. Especially when viewed outside of America.
Second many have argued that he was created by the US and built up into a terrorist version of the boogeyman and the defacto personification of terrorism. There is a reason why it took close to a decade for him to get assassinated.
As long as he was on the loose, the crusade could be continued indefinitely. Once he was milked for all that he was worth he was then taken out. And that's if we believe those events to be 100% factual. Some theorise that he was dead for a while and the whole operation was a stunt.
Considering that he was one of the most wanted men of all time it is beyond shocking that they didn't even show his body. And the explanation that they threw him into the sea out of respect to islamic custom is laughable.
