Death of Bin Laden

We must all understand that the death of Osama Bin Laden is only the closing of a chapter...not the end of the book. The ten year relentless pursuit of this horrible terrorist proves the tenacity of the American spirit and the strength of American integrity. However...the hatred will continue...the misguided Islamic Jihadist will make Bin Laden into a martyr...scream about retaliation (as if Bin Laden's death was not justified retaliation by the US)...and continue their scorched earth policy of killing as many innocent people as possible under the guise of a religious war. It is not a true religious war...it is out and out hatred of anyone who does not agree with them. These are hateful, vengeful people who will continue to inflict suffering. I, personally, do not think this war will ever end. It will take a total worldwide awakening and realization that these zealots are out for world domination, and it will take the world to stop them. I do think that these past ten years have been filled with fear and uncertainty for the now departed Osama Bin Laden. As each day, week, month, and year passed and he saw more and more of his top Lieutenants and advisers either killed or captured he must have come to realize just how much he had underestimated the will, determination and spirit of the American people...and that the inevitable would someday fall upon him...and it did. He died as he lived...hate-filled and violent. The world is better off...but, not really any safer.
