Reputed terrorist Osama Bin Laden was killed by United States Forces over the weekend in Pakistan.

For the past nine or years, the United States has been fighting a war on numerous fronts arounf the world; therefore, there are varying thoughts and opinions about that effort.

I don't think that anyone ever wishes a person dead; however, the case is different with Bin Laden. The man affects the way we live in America as he changed the way security is done, how we travel through airports, the financial system in this country and how we all feel about being citizens.
