Osama Bin Laddin killed.


When I first heard the news that Osama Bin Laddin was killed I couldn't believe it. I went on facebook and saw multiple posts on the issue and my mom called me up stairs to see the news.  I went to the tv to see the news and watched as the broadcast showed Obama telling everyone that he was killed and each news station commenting on every thing that obama said. I went online and searched the news. I found out more details of the death on how he was in a mansion instead of a cave. and how he was shot in the head and actually died a week ago and how officials have been doing DNA testing to make sure it was him. When I finally believe this to be true i thought of 9/11. when 9/11 occurred i was in first grade and i didn't know what was going on. My teachers weren't allowed to tell us anything on the subject. When I got home my parents were very upset and my brother also didn't know what was happening. My parents saw the images and video on the news and came home a little early to check on us. They explained to me and my brother that a plane had crashed into a building. Thats all i could understand as a kid and my parents didn't tell me any more. When i read the star tribute article on how Osama was hiding in a mansion i began to wonder why he wasn't in a cave and how no one saw or reported a sighting about him. Osama is over 6 ft tall and people over in the middle east aren't very tall  this makes him very noticeable how is it that we didn't do anything till now? True the process for an operation this size will take longer than most but i still think it could have gone faster. when i read that our navy seals killed him i was really happy. I do wonder what is going to happen next. Like if the terrorists will retaliate by bombing more public places. Also I wonder who will replace Osama and if there is someone even higher than him on the terrorist team. what if we have been chasing a lower level official instead of a bigger and badder terrorist.  I'm also very concurred with everyone celebrating over killing  person even if he was a terrorist hasn't humanity evolved by now. This is like a blast from the past where killing was a sigh of justice, revolution and triumph. But i can rest assured a very powerful and dangerous  terrorist is dead.
