Bin Laden Is Dead, Obama Says

Just in case you have not seen a newspaper stand, watched TV, or been on the internet Obama delivered breaking news last night announcing the death of Osama Bin Laden.  Obama announced that on Monday April 25th he sent a small amount of soldiers on a mission to capture Osama.  With the refusal of arrest Osama's security they opened fire at our American soldiers.  Thankfully none of our brave soldiers were wounded but they ended up killing all of Osama's security and Osama Bin Laden himself.  They detained his body and buried it at sea respecting the Muslim tradition of burring the dead within twenty four hours of the death.

Many people have mixed emotions about the death of Bin Laden. We should not be celebrating his death, but the peace that his death brings.  Although killing the leader of Al Qaeda does not mean that Al Qaeda as an organization has been completely diminished.  I fear retaliation now more than ever.  Look at our own government, if you kill the President your punishment without trial is death penalty. 

Al Qaeda can see how Americans are celebrating the death of their leader but in reality we can be fueling their desires for retaliation, being humble and celebrating peace is what seems rational to me. Hopefully we are at peace now.
