Hey, whatchya gonna do? People are also attracted to serial killers sitting in prison. There is a segment of the population with that kind of cult mentality. Not much you can do about some people viewing a bad person as a martyr once they're killed or imprisoned. I don't agree that bin Laden and Hitler are more inspirational now, however. The notion that we should have tried very hard not to kill either man is extraordinarily silly. I think Bush was right that bin Laden wasn't the that important a target, but I don't think he was made much of a martyr the way he died.

Apropos of very little, I despise the phrase "at least he died doing what he loved." I suppose bin Laden died doing what he loved (hiding).
