Osama bin Laden was finally located and killed after an intense game of hide and seek that lasted for a decade. The United States planned a surprise trip to Pakistan and found him on the upper story of a house where a Navy Seal shot him right in the face. The United States did not inform Pakistan of our visit fearing that they might tell bin Laden that the US troops were coming for him, which would in turn lead hit into hiding once again. It is amazing to think that most well trained people in the world were searching day and night for ten years for this man, and he managed to stay out of sight.
I guess it is a good thing that he is dead. It’s hard to say. Being in the service, it is made clear to us that we should never second guess a terrorist. Bin Laden killed thousands of people. It is absolutely sickening to even comprehend how many lives were taken because of him. The world is a much safer place now that he is no longer a part of it. But at the same time, I’m not about to get up and party that a human life is gone. People seem to be going unnecessarily crazy about it, but many of them are celebrating for the wrong reason: revenge. That is kind of horrible. They are happy that he is dead because he “got what was coming to him.” I did not personally lose a loved one in the 9/11 attack, so I guess I really don’t have a say in it, but we all have to understand that bin Laden was psychotic. He actually thought that he was doing a good deed for the world in every time he blew something up. He was an evil man and justice is now served; that’s about all there is to say.
