Osama Bin Laden is dead?

Wow.

That's something pretty huge to wake up to...

I'm watching the footage on Sky News and to be honest, I'm rather unsure what to think?

Yes, it's great that they finally found him and I suppose justice has been served, if you want to look at it that way... The parents, children, lovers and friends of those who died in the 9/11 terrorist attack will now have closure and it's probably a huge weight lifted from their shoulders and their hearts, but where does this leave the world now?

Are we expected to believe that Osama's death will lead to peace? Has anyone thought about the consequences of his murder? How do we know that this won't spur more terrorist attacks from those who followed him?

I read a quote that sums this up quite well; "An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind".

I can only hope that the troops serving in Afghanistan can be safe and go home to their families.

I'm really interested to hear your opinions on this, so please feel free to comment on this post or contact me via twitter.
