Osama and Obama Uncovering the Mythos

Aljazeera-Larbi Saddiki's editorial discusses the legacy of these two iconic figures in global politics. He uses what is called the Pygmalion Syndrome.  This syndrome refers to the ancient story of the sculpture Pygmalion who falls in love with a female statue that he has created.   Aphrodite then turns the statue into an actual woman.  The moral of the story is that what we want to be true usually becomes true but at what cost?   Please pay close attention to the middle of the article where Saddiki mentions that a reflection of America needs to take place.  What does he mean by this and how should we "celebrate" this critical victory in the war against terror.
