Sure, Bin Laden is dead, and many "No. 2" Al Qaeda leaders are too, but has the cost been worth it?
I say no.

Yeah, you bring up another point that I missed in my 'feelings dump'.
In avenging this attack we have started 2 wars and caused much more death and destruction as a result. I think someone could reasonably argue that our middle easy policy since 9/11 has probably made us more of a target for extremists. I will not be the one arguing that though as I am lazy and relying on nothing more than my anecdotally based opinion!
