Bin Laden’s Death Is Justice for All

Osama bin Laden, a name that strikes fear into American hearts and the hearts of our allies, is dead. Bin Laden’s death is justice for all. A man that has been haunting the spirit of our nation for the last decade was killed in mere minutes by a team of American Navy SEALS on May 1, 2011, inside of his custom built hideout in Abbottobad Pakistan.  Three other males were killed in the raid, one of them being Bin Laden’s son who has not been named at this time.  Bin Laden was shot in the head when he and his bodyguards resisted forces.  Officials say that one woman was also killed when she was used as a human shield for one of the males.  No Americans were harmed, but in a matter of moments after President Obama’s speech, the State Department issued an alert, warning US embassies of the possibility of anti-American violence.

Despite the fact that the operation went seamlessly, the Bin Laden raid was not an easy one.  His compound was surrounded by 8 feet of barbed wire.  There were also additional 7 foot security walls within the compound. So what factors contributed to Bin Laden’s defeat you may ask? US officials say that inside information was an integral part of the operation’s success. The Bin Laden family was also the only family that burned trash, and the only million dollar home that was without phone or internet connections; a giveaway that the compound was ideal to hide someone of great significance.  Administration said that the raid was kept so secretive that no foreign officials were told in advance, and very few within the US government were privy to prior knowledge of the history that was about to unfold a world away.

On September 11, 2001, over 3,000 lives were lost in the worst attacks of terrorism on American soil. On May 1, 2011, the man responsible for this horrific amount of innocent bloodshed was finally brought to justice. Bin Laden’s capture sent throngs of cheering Americans in to the streets in both Times Square, and in front of the White House. Gordon Felt, president of the Families of Flight 93, issued a heartfelt statement saying, “This is important news for us, and for the world. It cannot ease our pain, or bring back our loved ones. It does bring a measure of comfort that the mastermind of the September 11th tragedy and the face of global terror can no longer spread his evil”.
