As far as making a martyr out of Bin Laden I believe that's the reason he was given a burial at sea so his followers couldn't worship at the grave of a terrorist.
As far as our failures we've had plenty. We've had many many situations where our actions have come back to bite us in the ass. This happens over and over and yet we never learn from it.
Most recently we found out that our support of a tyrant in Egypt came to no good.
Our support of Afghanistan just to route the Soviets only to have those forces come back at us when they decided that we are no good for them.
