Osama Bin Laden confirmed dead - Osama Bin Laden, one of the if not the most powerful terrorist leader of all time has been confirmed dead. Osama was killed in his residential compound in Pakistan by the United States Navy SEALs along with CIA paramilitary forces. May 1 was a huge day for world history. The largest terrorist leader of our generation was killed.
Of course, this does not mean the end of terrorism, not by a long shot. I've always thought that Bin Laden was a smart ruler, not through good ways but a smart ruler indeed. While under his command, Al Qaeda grew in number and in strength and in a way, I fear that his death may start a riot. He kept his forces calm and obedient but now without anyone to keep them on their toes I fear that the worse is still to come. In a way, Osama held off all-out war and conserved what they had but now I fear that the recent events may lead to something devastating. His forces could be raging right at this very moment. They're disoriented and only have one thing in mind, to strike back. Nobody is gonna stop them now and I think such a huge blow to their stature like that had given them a sense that they have nothing to live for and they are more fearless than ever and there is no doubt in their hearts that they will draw blood... somehow.
I know this is a very historic day and I thank and honor the people that serve their country, the military forces. A lot of credit goes to the political leaders and military commanders but I give the credit and the honor o the actual soldiers that were in Pakistan fighting for their lives in great danger and peril in the battlefield but still maintaining composure and coolness in the fight while accomplishing their objective and leaving Pakistan a success.
These are the people who risk their all every day while the people at home stroll through huge supermarket halls, never starving and never tired, while those people give their all in the name of their country. They are the heroes.
