Death Heard Around the World

The attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, is something that will lie in the back of all Amercan’s minds forever. There was over a thousand people who died and millions of people effected from those lives lost.

Ever since that day, America has been at war to find and kill the person responsible. That man is Osama Bin Laden and he has been in hidding ever since that day. That is until May 2, 2011. On this day Americans’ finally felt justice and their revenge on this man of terror.

His name and face on wanted posters, celebrating on videotapes, antagonizing the United States and all of the West. The people responsible for this death are the CIA and American military.

The campus of the University of Mississippi had an overwhelming echo of rejoicing on Monday. The news of this seemed to bring music to everyone’s ears and I was curious to get everyone’s opinion. I interviewed Dr. William R. Rhodes on how he felt about all the celebrating going on on the campus.

Dr. Rhodes comments, “I guess am glad he is dead and I think killing anybody is a tragedy because he is a person like anybody else and I guess but I think with his intent agianst the western world, I guess death is the only think that kind of provides a solution”.

Two out of the Two interviews I conducted consisted of the same reaction and opinion about Osama’s death.

Jessica Caldwell agreed with Dr. Rhodes about the affect it will have on the war by saying, “I don’t think it will have a hugh affect because we weren’t just over there because of Osama Bin Laden but obviously it a good thing”.

I think it is safe to say this death was hear around the world.
