Osama Bin Laden is Dead!

Breaking news: Osama Bin Laden is Dead!

This news is exciting and disturbing at the same time. It's wonderful that the U.S. Troops finally got the terrorist that threatened the safety of our country. It seems odd to celebrate someone's death, yet he took so many innocent lives.

Of course, there are still terrorists out there who are still a threat to us. It's not that the war is over and we can let our guard down and send the troops home yet.

On the other hand, when President Obama spoke tonight, he took all of the credit for capturing Bin Laden. I knew that he would too. Everyone hated President Bush just because this happened during his presidency. Now, Obama will be everyone's hero just because this happened during his presidency. Well, if it wasn't for Bush, we wouldn't even have troops over there (as difficult as that is for some people to understand).

I'm also very disheartened by the fact that so many people have forgotten about this horrible event or don't care anymore. A number of people posted comments on Facebook expressing disbelief that their favorite show, "The Apprentice" was being interrupted for the President's speach! What is more important? It's very disturbing to think that people live in their own, little worlds and don't think about the big picture.
