Osama Freewrite


The death of Osama Bin Laden was a good thing for the US because it shows that we never give up.  After years of fighting the Al queda and many people dying we finally killed their leader.  We never gave up; this might show the al Queda that they are not strong enough to defeat us because if we killed the most powerful person in their group they might decide to give up.  Also this gives the US a sense of uniting just like we had after the attack on the trade towers.  The US is celebrating over the death of a man which I find kind of strange.  Is it right to celebrate the death of a man, I know we have been hunting him down for a while but still killing is not something to celebrate. We can be happy a relieved but having parties is just weird.  
I first heard of this when my friend texted me. At first I did not know whether or not to believe him because he is such a powerful man.  But then I went onto face book and saw that everybody had their statues were about him being killed.  I thought this was cool but at the same time strange.  Most of them were saying how happy the person was that he was dead and some other ones were about who should be getting credit Obama or Bush.  I found this weird because it does not really matter because all the same Osama is dead, they both contributed the same amount if you ask me.  
I till do not know wether or not to believe that he is dead because there is no visible proof that I have seem.  No pictures or films all that we know is what the military is telling us.  We DNA tested the body to make sure it was Osama and it was him supposively, but they could just be saying that to make us happy.  Also they dumped him off the side of a ship so that no one will ever find his body.  This just makes me believe that he is still out there and that the government is just saying he is dead so that the citizens of America feel proud of their nation. 
The over all impact that this has on me is very minimal because one man being killed will not stop the terrorist.  It will just make them lay off for a while but during that time all that they have to do is fid another leader then the terrorist are back in action.  I am happy that Osama is dead but I mean it did nothing to make me feel like there was a weight holding me down until he was killed.  I honestly forgot that he was still alive I thought he died a while ago or at least thought he was because he was hiding for so long.  I am sure that the people who knew people that died in the twin towers attack are very happy that justice was served.
