The Death of Bin Laden

According to the New York Times, there has been a possible turning point to the war in Afghanistan. After a whole decade of fighting in the war throughout the Middle-East, and Afghanistan, U.S troops have finally found Usama Bin Laden hidden in a city in Pakistan meant for hiding people. During an era of terrorism (which includes all the attacks before, and including 9/11 in New York and Washington), Bin Laden was one of the most wanted men in the history of the world as he was the leader of both Al Queda, and basically all of the terrorist attacks within the last two decades. According to Barach Obama, “justice has been done” (New York Times). He also stated that Bin Laden has been “Al Quada’s leader and symbol” (New York Times). This was a time of serious triumph in the U.S as many people throughout D.C. and New York City have waved the American flag, and sang the Star Spangled Banner many times. However, the impact that Bin Laden’s death has on Al Quada is currently unknown. For that reason, a senior Pentagon official decided to warn American citizens of any travel outside the U.S. At the same time, it was very important that Obama had plenty of troops in the Pakistan area to ensure safety from any possible attack. One thing that I really hope is for no more tragedies caused by terrorists to occur especially because Bin Laden is deceased.This was very exciting news and I hope that it stays this way
