USA


After ten long years of struggle, heartbreak, and sacrifice, America has triumphed by killing Osama Bin Laden. I'm not one to celebrate death but, as said on Twitter, "it was necessary for David to kill Goliath in the Bible." It's truly a remarkable milestone in American history and even the history of the world. It's one of those things, like 9/11 that we'll all say, "I remember where I was when this happened."

I was shocked by this news myself. I was actually just flipping through the TV when I stopped on MSNBC. They had "Breaking News" on the screen saying Pres. Obama had an important statement to make. That was all the info they had at the time. They almost said something further about the issue but backtracked before they announced it. Later, CNN said the statement was concerning national security. My heart sank as I immediately thought "terror attacks." Finally, my mom said that FOX News reported that Bin Laden was dead. And so began the jubilation.

I really couldn't believe that it had actually happened. I mean, it took ten years to bring justice and some sense of closure to those families of 9/11 victims but we finally did it! Like I said, I'm not one to celebrate the death of any person, good or evil. It's really ashame that this seemingly bright person chose to use his gifts and talents for evil instead of good. For that, he must suffer the consequences, which he did. However, with this the fight is not over. As Americans we need to use this to band together with our military and end terrorism for all people!

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!
