A lot of reports on his death near the bottom of the link.

The problem is, there is no proof either way. All those reports contradict themselves.
There does appear to be more evidence that he is dead, then there is that he's still alive.

I don't think anyone is assuming he's dead. No one is sure either way.

I am certain that he is both dead of this world and alive in many minds.

In all seriousness, I do not know for sure either way. I do however, believe that if he is dead that it is in the best intrest of the world community that he is presumed to still be alive. With that being said, I do believe that he is dead, but that is pure speculation and I have no hard evidence to support it.

Does it even matter if Bin Laden is dead? That is a rhetorical question, because the answer is no, IMO. Bin Laden claiming responsibility for 9/11 made him the "figure" anti-Western terrorist. he is not just a person, but an idea, a belief that unites a huge amount of people against us.

To me it doesn't matter if you kill any kind of head terrorist, because there is another one waiting in line to take reigns, and there are thousands of kids who are educated in radical Islam waiting to take their own lives for whatever that leader says.

If anything killing Bin Laden will only increase the resolve of terrorists abroad, by motivating them. What we really need to do is change our role and basically show the younger kids of those regions the US is not the devil. It is hard as hell, and will probably not be solved in my lifetime but that is what needs to be done.
