Osama yo mama


I think that the death of Osama Bin Laden was a good accomplishment made by the U.S.A.  I think this because we have been after him for the longest time and now we finally caught him and defeated him so now we dont have anything to worry about anymore, hopefully.  I mean there could also be another terrorist leader thats part of the al-quaeda that we have not discovered yet and he could pose a threat to the U.S. as another dangerous target we should hunt down just like we did to Osama. Im glad that we got him after all this time, but at the same time i am a little bit worried because who knows, Osama Bin kLaden could have been a hero to the middleeastern people.  I also think that people in general think that the leader of their own native country is the best hero that does everything right and everybody loves him.  For us Americans, obviously the hero would be Obama and Bush, because they put the most effort into finding Bin Laden in order to bring him into justice (especially Bush).  But for the Middleeastern people, their hero might have been Osama because he was the most powerful ruler of the time with the most authority.  So there is two sides to this story and you kind of have to look at the event in both perspectives of the Americans and the Middleeasrern peoples, even though it may be hard because we are American and we support the U.S.A. and its decisions.  I first experienced the emotions and reactions of terrorism when I was in the first grade, when the famous 9/11 event happened.  I was about to go to school when I saw what had happened on the news on the television.  When I arrived at school, all the teachers and staff were loitering in the hallways when class should have been in session, watching the terrible news on the television.  I was pretty young at the time to understand what had all been happening but now that i know what had really happened and why, I was angry and upset with the terrorists.  And now when i am seeing that on the news that Osama bin Laden is dead, I at first did not think that this day would come.  I thought that it was all just a phony scheme to arise tension between the public and the government and the military action.  I thought that this would be like a counter attack when the Americans killed the terrorist leader, they would pull out all troops out of the Middleeast and send them home.  Then after that, the al-quaeda would regain a whole lot of power and strength so they would comeback at the U.S.A. with very strong military action and terrorist forces.  At first I didn’t believe it was true but then I logged onto facebook and everyone had posted stuff about the whole event.  I saw posts such as “im glad im American” and “he is finally dead, go U.S.A.”.  Then after that I saw all over the news that Osama Bin Laden was actually dead after all.  Now I believed the truth but I still could not believe that all of a sudden the U.S. military forces finally capture and kill the most dangerous terrorist leader in the world when he has been in hiding for over5 or 10 years or so.  This really shocked the U.S. too because I also saw that th event was posted all over the front page of the newspaper.  I also believed it was true when I arrived at school Monday when all my friends were cracking jokes and talking about the terrorist leader being dead.  At school that day, the whole talk was about Osama bin Laden being killed after so many long and hard years of fighting to get to him, the Americans finally defeated and killed him so he poses a threat to the United states no more.  Over all, I believe that his death was good because after all, Osama didn’t do anything good for the world, he just murdered mass amounts of innocent civilians and started an evil terrorist organization destined to harm and bring terror to the world.
