Justice at long last. Osama bin Laden has been killed by American troops. President Barack Obama made the announcement late Sunday night, nearly ten years after the 9/11 attacks that were orchestrated by bin Laden.
How did you react to the news? I felt an odd sense of relief. Not just relief that an evil man has been exterminated, but it was as if a burden was suddenly lifted.
I have never believed much in closure, but this news did bring a sense of comfort. It even came with its own soundtrack. I was hearing "Ding Dong The Witch is Dead" from "The Wizard of Oz." Sing it high! Sing it low! The wicked bin Laden is dead!
I felt a sense of shock. This search for Bin Laden has been going on for years, even before 9/11. So this news that he was killed in a mansion (not in a cave like we all thought) is pretty shocking.
ReplyDeleteI do wonder if there are rules or instructions within Al-Qaeda to retaliate upon his death.
Hey Dan, a pretty good article by Reuters today addresses that subject- http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/05/02/us-binladen-militants-idUSTRE74147320110502
