After a decade of running and playing hide and seek, the news came last week that Osama Bin Laden, the notorious leader of Al Queda and the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks, had been killed. A Navy SEAL team ambushed Bin Laden's $1 million compound killing everyone in the house, lastly Bin Laden. The SEAL team then took Bin Laden's body onto a U.S. ship, cleaned it, wrapped it in cloth, and dumped it into the ocean. Upon news of Bin Laden's death, Americans celebrated by wrapping themselves in American flags and drinking beer.
When I found out Bin Laden had been killed I felt relieved. I felt bad being happy that someone was dead, but Bin Laden was not just a man he was a monster. President Obama has secured a political victory with his death which is much needed. The man who was on the run for nearly a decade has finally been caught, allowing Americans and the rest of the world to breathe easier. Though there is fear that there will be a retaliation from Al Queda, only time will tell what will happen in the future.
