| Osama Bin Laden |
In an address to the nation, President Obama said Bin Laden was killed in a "targeted operation" in Abbottabad, a highland town north of Islamabad, last night." (source from http://www.guardian.co.uk)
The world's most wanted terrorist, or should I say the American's most wanted terrorist, is dead. After the announcement, the states blew into party and thousands of joyous americans celebrated in front of the White House. Bidding goodbye to the man who was accused to be the mastermind behind the 911 incident 10 years ago. So, have the hatred of americans towards Osama ceased after this? Will the authorities of the White House stop the ordered bombings and killings in Pakistan and Afganistan just for this man? Well, we shall see.
Oh yeah, and Obama just won the 2012 election today :)
