That actually was my reasoning for putting this thread up in chit-chat. Besides, this is indeed a historic event and I just wanted to see what the robotics community had to offer.

The second paragraph of the thread introduction explains this, however, I like MLK's wording better. Should've used this quote.

To comment on the topic of terrorism and Al Qaeda: yes, Al Qaeda still exists, yes there will still be terrorism. BUT, the killing of bin Laden is an event which will unite Americans in a way we haven't seen in almost a decade. I for one believe that bin Laden got what he deserved.

This event shows that America will not back down. We won't cower in a corner in fear. If you mess with the bull, you get the horns, and America has some pretty big horns.

I'm not saying we should be having a party, just that we should be glad that we finally got the man responsible for the deaths of so many people.
