Default Osama Bin Laden's death the end of terrorism?

Termites are very common in Africa and there are termitariums (termite hills/termite nests) almost everywhere in Africa. When we were young we used to destroy some of the nests/hills looking for queen termites. There was a very big termite hill close to my grandpa's house in the village and one day my grandpa told us to destroy the termite hill because sometimes snakes hide in the termite hills which makes them very dangerous especially at nights and so we destroyed the termite hill. Just a few weeks later, we discovered the termites we left behind had started building the nest again but this time around my grandpa told us to destroy the hill and burn the place to destroy all the termites and their eggs. We did just that and the termites and their nest were gone forever.

I just heard Osama Bin Laden is dead. At first I thought it was an April fool's joke in May but after listening to Barack Obama's speech concerning Osama Bin Laden's death, I began taking the news serious. Now it is official Osama is dead and it is great news to so many people why because Osama Bin Laden was a terrorist who killed several innocent people and deserved nothing but death. It is a great victory for America especially the brave men and women in uniforms including the huge number of people who lost their lives chasing Osama the son of Laden. Not just Americans but also the Iraqis, the Afghans, the Pakistanis, etc. It is also a great victory for former president George Bush because Bush started it all. Ofcourse Barack Obama is getting almost all the credit now that Osama is dead but let us not forget George Bush started it all. Most Americans referred to the war on terrorists as a "meaningless war" because Osama Bin Laden was still alive. It is true Bush has so many war crimes in his name but Osama's death is something good that has come out of the war and I am sure Bush is very happy about Osama's death.

Osama Bin Laden is dead and gone but is that the end of terrorism? Osama the son of Laden is dead and gone but can we say "now we are free"? Osama Bin Laden is dead and gone so does that mean American troops should stop the operation and return home?. I just read an article on cnn and so many people think now that Osama is dead, Obama must bring the troops home which is a very good idea but on the other hand,if America leaves with just the queen termite leaving the other termites behind, wouldn't the remaining termites rebuild the termite hill to serve as hiding places for even more snakes? What do you think?

confused Re: Osama Bin Laden's death the end of terrorism?

Yeah, one problem though. As the White House officials have now stated Osama was unarmed at the time he was shot, that now means he shouldn't have been shot. He should have been detained and brought to trial the same way Saddam was. It's considered war crime to kill an unarmed man by UN war regulations. The troops can't be brought home, they will rebuild regardless but right now is the best time to strike and slow progress for the rebuilding of their organization. I will say I am also glad Osama is dead, but it is in no way an end of the Tali Ban or any terrorist group. I do however disagree with the way Osama was killed. Now the world is left questioning the US for an act of vengeance as opposed to an act of justice, not to mention by with holding from Pakistan the plans of the raid they have already stated it could be an act of war on the part of the US for carrying out a raid on their soil without permission or informing them first. If Bush has turned our allies away from us Obama may have just brought them against us. Britain and the European Union have sided with the Arab States in asking the UN to declare Obama a War Criminal for Osama's murder. As part of the UN the US has sided against Israel on targeted assassinations of terrorist leaders that have acted against them yet we just did the same thing.
