BREAKING NEWS: Justice, it has been served.

Osama Bin Laden is dead.

This comes as being somewhat surreal, it being just about a decade since 9/11 occurred, and him being one of the world's most wanted elusive terrorists. Until now.

Also, I want to thank President Barack Obama for saying that we aren't at war with Islam, that Bin Laden was a mass murderer of Muslims as well, and that we shouldn't be blaming or attacking Islam for his heinous and inhumane acts. This is something I wish many Americans would get through their heads that Islam is not the enemy. So, hearing it from his mouth at his speech just now makes me happy and hope that people will listen to that. His entire speech was fantastic, such a wonderful speaker.

Also, I'm slightly tickled at the amount of coincidences this day brought due to this news, jsyk.

That was actually Saddam Hussein, who was the president of Iraq and a despicable dictator. He was captured in 2003 and was executed in 2006.

Osama Bin Laden was a terrorist leader who was one of the founders of Al Qaeda, and he's practically been in hiding for the last ten years since the 9/11 attacks. Which is why hearing his name now is bringing up a lot of memories and emotions from when the attacks happened, because there was a lot of talk around that time about Osama Bin Laden being behind it but it was nearly impossible to capture, and over the years we barely heard much about him until today.

Also, as great as it is, I doubt it's going to change anything. If it has any effect, I'm fearing it'll be quite the opposite..Raging his followers =/

It is true that this doesn't change much regarding Al Qaeda since they are still a threat, many are fearing that there will be retaliation because U.S. soldiers killed one of their founders and leaders of the terrorist group, and those following in his footsteps will want to take action. This knowledge that it can go either way is pretty damn scary, and I hate having that feeling because this is the reality we live in. Even in times when we feel somewhat relieved we have to prepare for the worst case scenarios. :(

The Hydra comes to mind. Still, it might take some of the wind out of their sails.
