Finally, they caught and killed Osama bin Laden, the Al-Qaeda Mastermind, the Architect of 9-11.
He was in hiding in Pakistan, in a compound which anyone within a five-mile radius could have found. He was hiding in plain sight. What does the Pakistani Government have to say for themselves?
Notwithstanding the set-backs and incompetence of our Middle Eastern ally in catching this international criminal, the United States has every right and reason to rejoice.
This man deserved to die. He refused mercy, he scorned human life, he plotted the demise of many, all in the name of "Our God is Greater" Allah.
Should we celebrate? Yes. Should the United States relax its vigilance at the downfall of a major adversary? No. Terrorism is a 24-7 evil. Should we be paranoid, though, in the wake of other Al-Qaeda operatives rising up and threatening retaliation? Absolutely Not. We do not give terrorists the satisfaction of inducing us to live in fear, all the more because they may run, but in the end they cannot hide!
