So, apparently we finally brought Bin Laden’s reign as hide-and-go-seek champion to an end. (Kudos to the SEALS who did the job.) From everything I’ve read, he was in a house (fortified mansion, really) within spitting distance of a police station and a military academy. Maybe Obama is learning that unilateral action is the way to go sometimes?
Also, it’s an odd feeling… I was a sophomore in high school when the Twin Towers fell… and here I am, a decade later, and the leader of the other side’s finally dead.

Now we finish up. One way or another.
We can either withdraw into our shell; tell the world we did what we meant to do, or we continue to fight against those that still out there trying to terrorize us and others.
I think it is great that Osama is dead but realize not always does chopping off the head kill the beast.
I think we have to decide now; do we reclaim our premier position in the world or do we slide to 2nd or lower.
It isn’t just economically that we need to lead the world but militarily. I think that this episode shows how much more powerful we need to be militarily. It shouldn’t take a decade to accomplish a mission, even one as difficult as this one.
