Today, we all woke up to the biggest news of the past decade - Osama Bin Laden is dead. A secret military operation in the middle of the night upon a secret base in Abbottabad, Pakistan just a few minutes away from a Pakistan military base. This raises suspicion for the Pakistan government, so what would have been different if the US would have alerted the Pakistan officials? Would they have alerted Osama and his followers to flee in time and this triumph would not have happened? We just don't know. However, this raises an inquest into the intelligence of the Pakistan government as Osama was just under their nose for 6 months; It is hard to believe that no one knew that he was there at all.
However, today we should be rejoicing the death of the most wanted criminal in the world. Finally, the families of the victims of 9/11 and the 7/7 bombings have been given justice through his death. New Yorkers flooded the ground zero area chanting "USA, USA, USA." Outside the White House they chanted "4 more years" over and over again. So, in the season of the primaries and caucuses of the American election process, this could not have come at a greater time for Obama and the Democrat party. Many doubted Obama's presidency after the creation of the Health Care Reform Act, which will be a copy of our NHS system, which is one of the most wanted health care systems in the world; It is strange to think that people would reject health care for all?
Although I feel that after this day, Obama's presidency is secured as he has done what Bush couldn't do for 10 years and find OBL and serve justice to those lives lost in 9/11. And afterall, who would, in their right mind vote for Palin for president?
