Goodbye bin laden

I was shocked to hear the news that the U.S. had finally killed Osama bin Laden. It's about time. It's strange to think that this larger than life figure is finally DEAD. One can only wonder what his last thoughts were or what he said to his captors. I wonder what was going on in the minds of the CIA agents as well. Perhaps they'll come out with a book on the subject, like "I Killed Osama." 

This is very exciting. Of course he's a human being and it is slightly disturbing that we are applauding the death of a fellow human. But considering the magnitude of his evil, our celebratory attitude is justified. It will be interesting to see how al-Qaeda reacts and deals with this major blow.

Obama was careful to highlight the fact that it was HE that was responsible for initiating action against bin Laden. This is definitely good news for the President. He will forever be known as the first black president of the U.S. that also helped catch one of the most dangerous men in recent history. Good job Obama.
