Apparently on May 1, 2011 US troops and operatives from the CIA located Bin Laden in Pakistan. Ironically the location was close to a military base.
The US provides the Pakistan government with 1 billion dollars a year to battle terrorism and they could not locate Bin Laden right under their nose.
In case anyone has been living under a rock Osama Bin Laden was the leader of a terrorist group called Al-Queda which means the base. Bin Laden and his organization was responsible for the destruction of the twin towers in N.Y. .And the loss of lives over Pennsylvania.
So, I have given you the facts and a new set of questions come up to be answered? Will Osama Bin Laden's death end terrorism forever? I say no because there is always someone waiting in the wings to continue Bin Laden's reign of terror.
However, what really amazes me is that all of Osama Bin Laden's Billions could not keep him safe from justice. I believe that a single persons death diminishes us all. Why was the only way to silence Bin Laden, murder. It, speaks volumes to how we deal with our differences.
And, I leave you with what I think are the most beautiful words in the Arab language As-salam Alaikum(Peace be upon you).
One life, One love, One World.
