As of Sunday May 1, 2011, President Barack Obama broke the news to the American people that al Qaida’s mastermind Osama Bin Laden had been killed in a firefight where United States special forces were instructed to kill Bin Laden. Osama Bin Laden was buried out to sea early Monday morning according to Islamic law which calls for a speedy burial, because apparently there was not a single country willing to bury the body on land.


A day of reckoning for the families that lost their loved ones in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, or are there just more questions left on people’s minds? There is no doubt that many people, American’s and muslims alike, wanted him dead. Osama Bin Laden was a terrorist and admitted to killing many people, his actions against innocent peaceful people were a justification for his death; what will be the fate of his organization al Qaida?


Now that Osama Bin Laden is dead our main objective for war has been completed, in the coming days will we begin to see the end of the wars taking place? With al Qaida’s mastermind dead, we should begin to see the disintegration of his organization. The biggest threat to the United States of America has been eliminated, war must end! Only in the end of the wars will we begin to recover from this depression that has effected so many people.


We must take this opportunity to pressure our elected officials, including President Obama to end the wars and bring home our troops because Osama Bin Laden is dead. Despite the news of Osama Bin Laden’s death, we must not forget the problems that plague our country and we must not lose sight of those who are responsible. Our biggest threat is the debt our country has and the continuing of expensive war which will rob us all of everything if we do not hold the feet to the fire and start creating solutions to our problems.


Peace & Joy,

Christina
