U.S. Forces Take Out Bin Laden, Americas Modern Day Public Enemy #1

Osama bin Laden has been killed, according to reports late Sunday night.

"I can report to the American people and the world that the United States has conducted an operation that has killed Osama bin Laden," President Obama said in an address to the nation Sunday night.

Bin Laden, the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon near Washington, D.C., was said to have been killed while in a remote region of Pakistan and his body is reported to be in U.S. hands, according to CBS News. 

CNN quoted a senior U.S. official as saying that U.S. forces killed bin Laden in a mansion outside Islamabad. 

Some national security experts are calling this a major turning point in the War on Terror.

As someone that lost a close family member to the 9/11 attacks, I can say that I am quite numb to the announcement. On one hand, I guess I'm supposed to be elated that this person is no longer living. On the other hand, his death will not bring back my cousin. She died days after the planes crashed into the area in which she worked at the Pentagon. The thoughts of her slow and painful death due to burns received at impact don't go away because he's dead. My family's heartache and grief does not dissipate.

And there are certainly more out there that have this terrorist's same sentiments toward Americans.

So what do we do with this announcement? What are your thoughts on this development in eliminating the man called the spiritual head of al Queda?
