Wouldnt that be a lapse of pessimism - since a lapse of optimism would lead people to think this development WOULDNT be good?

As for "winning the war on terror" - this is a huge blow. Maybe not logistically (and none of us are in any position to know what kind of impact his death - and the death of many of his lts. - will have on the AQ infrastructre), but at the very least it will send a message to terror cells and future AQ leadership - we can get you, we will get you, and when we do - we will frame your dead face in a Nice Oaken Picture Frame and have Tony Snow and George Bush deliver your eulogy.
