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?
