Just about every woe to befall dictators around the world has been blamed on Osama Bin Laden and his network. We are repeatedly told that Al Qaeda is behind every every terrorist plot from 9/11 to the 1998 bombings of American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania and the 2000 bombing of the warship USS Cole in Yemen.
In recent months He has been accused of being behind the Arab Spring by every one of the beleaguered dictators.
"Justice has been done," Mr Obama said in a dramatic White House speech announcing the death of the elusive mastermind.
Cameron was quick to congratulate Obama, as were many leaders in European capitals.
Hailed as a major achievement it is strange that this former American vassal living in a small village could be such a bogyman .
After his body was recovered, supposedly to help convince any doubters that Bin Laden is really dead, it was quickly buried at sea.
Now who are we all going to blame for our woes? Many dictators in the Middle East will be unhappy that this invisible nemesis has been taken out of the equation and they may have to actually reform or leave. If only ideas were as easy to kill.
