Ding Dong the Witch is Dead...

Well, he wasn't technically a witch, but Osama bin Laden was certainly a horrible person. After news that the Navy Seals killed him in a raid on Sunday, people around the country - and world - cheered that this terrorist was finally dead. Every television show was covering the breaking news and airing the announcement from President Obama. Social media was streaming the news alerts and displaying patriotism everyone across the states was feeling. On Monday the newspapers had his picture plastered on the front page.

While capturing this fugitive is a major accomplishment in the War on Terror and finally puts many Americans at ease, part of me worries about the possible retaliation from the al Qaeda. I don't think you can really kill off someones leader and not expect them to want to get back at you. I pray that they don't. Hopefully they'll realize that Americans don't mess around, even if it does take us a decade to track your sorry ass down. As the NY Daily News said, "Rot in Hell" Osama.
