The Assassination of Osama bin Laden

  The assassination of Laden recently occured. There are many different reactions. Some people are feeling happy and relieved. Others feel that you should never cheer anyone's death, while several are too shocked to form a true opinion. I have an opinion on it as well.
  I feel a reluctant acceptance that it was necessary. It had to be done. He was killing innocent people. People who had never done anything to him. Laden organized the murder of many. He deserved to be punished in some way.
  At the same time I feel sadness. Was it really necessary? How could this have been prevented? I'm not sre it could have been.  I understand that his death is a relief to a countless number of people, but it's terrible that it came to this. It's horrific that we were pushed to kill anyone. The fact that we needed to kill a human being is sickening.
  In the end, I just hope that it's worth it. I hope it makes an real impact, and not a negative one. The death of someone should never be taken lightly, and no one ever should.
