Osama bin Laden killed (was: They got him.)

[ZamHalen]

It has been confirmed that Osama Bin Laden has been killed.

What do you think?

And
How do you think it will affect the world?

It won't affect the world that much

I don't think his death will have any effect besides being symbolic. Still, a morale boost couldn't hurt.

Affect the world? Short answer: very little.

I find the issue may be the guy who is next in line. We don't know who he is?

 

[uberCuber]

It will affect the hopes and dreams of various people in various ways. As far as physical change, not so much in the way you would think as you will see in the coming weeks/months.

Enjoy interpreting this post..

I really want to know how he died.

Waiting for the statement from the White House...

While not substantial in many ways, it is historically and symbolically important to many people (especially Americans), notably the many that were personally involved in 9/11 or his other terrorist attacks. As a then high school sophomore who lived 30 miles from NYC I remember the tears and the lost family members of my friends and classmates. This day brings back a whole host of emotions that will never go away for me. I'm not big on championing death, and I'm not filled with joy in his passing. I'm just very happy he will never hurt anyone else. There is quite a lot of value in that.

I wish I had something thoroughly intellectual to say about it, but I don't. It was a necessary end to a nation's struggle for justice, even though there can be no justice for what that man has done. This doesn't change what happened, and I don't know what sort of an impact this will have on Al Qaeda, but some part of me is very content that this chapter is over. My nation needed this.

Well, the biggest change could be the feelings of the family members of the people who died in the 1998 US Embassy truck bombing in Nairobi; they can finally feel relieved that he's dead.

O_o.

There was no build up, no news alert, no epic battle, no final boss, I just hear that he's dead.

...

He's dead now. Wow.

o_O.

These are the words I was trying to find. I definitely feel more of a sorrowful relief than any kind of celebration.

Wait...I just thought about it more. What if Al Qaeda reacts and tries to get back at the US for killing him?

My point exactly.

 

[OMGitsSolved]

Wait...I just thought about it more. What if Al-Qaida reacts and tries to get back at the US for killing him?

That's no news. Until we totally take out the whole entire Al-Qaida there is going to be someone to take his spot.

Like they aren't already trying to do whatever they can to us already anyway?

Military bases and potential targets are now on high alert in case this comes to fruition.

 

[Andreaillest]

I really hope this brings resolve to those who were personally affected by 911.

Wikipedia has everything, dude. Well, at least some of the most info as of right now on how he died.

As for Osama Bin Laden's death, I think that it's good that he died, and might be helpful to hear for lots of people around the world (as Kian said, especially Americans). It's also nice that he's not reserved on the FBI's most wanted or out killing more people. I'd agree with most people in the statement that it's about time pretty much.
