mixed reactions of the end of a terrorist's life

it is indeed the end of a terrorist leader's life. DNA confirmed it. Osama bin Laden is dead for good. The U.S. went in for a kill mission that lasted about forty minutes. According to Islamic law, a body had to be buried within twenty-four hours after their death and so they put it in the ocean so rebels or members of another terrorist group could not make a shrine of his remains. Smart thinking on the troops' part.

Although we can argue over why it had to result in his death, can we atleast come to a agreement that he was a horrible, HORRIBLE individual that resorted to acts of terrible violence to scare groups of people. I also agree that this event in history shows that justice has been served to the families of the 9/11 victims'. One life does not equal to the thousands of lives he took. Of course we will expect retaliation attempts; acts it is to be expected when a major leader of a group is executed.

It is like a quote in a book I read: "There are good and bad people in every religion." It would have been safer to kill bin Laden than to capture and compromise the safety of the American people. Am I glad he's dead? Truthfully, yes to know he won't be carrying out any more horrible acts of violence but this is not the end of terrorism we still have a long and hard fight ahead of us. The troops will still be there fighting for our freedom and we can never forget them and the purpose they serve.
