What is Osama’s death for Obama and the world

While Obama has received generally broad bipartisan and international backing for the killing of bin Laden, there is likelihood at the same time of report of increased fears about retaliatory al-Qaeda attacks.
Osama’s death brings no effect or change in the Al-Qaeda operation in the world as much of the work had been delegated to his subordinates since his illness. A batch of new cadre of leaders and a wider range of affiliate groups are widely spread around the globe executing the group’s ideals.
If bin Laden is only a figurehead, then one could argue that he has already served his purpose: His ideology and strategy has permeated throughout al-Qaeda, both the central organization in Afghanistan and Pakistan and its affiliate groups elsewhere.
Bin Laden’s death, in other words - while symbolically significant - may mean little for al-Qaeda’s capabilities. Many were less ambivalent about whether the killing was a success. Apparently it seems like with death of bin Laden, terrorism has been defeated but in reality it is not so. Osama has died but has left behind thousands of other Osamas. The killing of Osama does not bring an end to the counter-terrorism war. War will have to continue. If the US and its allies become overly optimistic after targeting Osama, Al Qaida which has now vastly expanded itself would easily launched attacks on them. The expansion of Al Qaida has been more independent than reliant on Osama bin Laden. In other words, after the US invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 and success Osama to escape from Tora Bora Mountains to the tribal areas of Pakistan, he has remained rather a symbolic figure than active leader of al Qaida network. So, the death of Osama does not lead to the end of war on America and its allies
Significantly, Osama’s alleged death lead to a number of issues. World markets in a jubilant mood over the death of Osama bin Laden may have spurred trade and brought down the price of oil.
