As everyone knows, Osama bin Laden was killed Sunday, May 2, 2011 by a team of Navy SEALs in Pakistan. With all the news surrounding his death, there has been some controversy about how the situation was handled. Some people are wondering if we should have even shot him in the first place, or if we should have just captured him. Others are upset because we are cheering because he's dead. Should we have shot him? Is it right to cheer because he was killed?

I think it was right to shoot him. We had virtually no way of knowing if he was armed, so if our team tried to capture him, he could have injured some of our people. Also, I think it was okay to celebrate that he died. He was responsible for the deaths of many people in our country and I think their family members and the rest of the country should be happy that he died.
I agree with Christina this man was the most wanted man in America. we needed to do everything we possibly can to take him dead or alive. I also think it is ok to celebrate his death because his death gives americans a little sense of closure about the situation. for the past ten years i think people have flt that there has never been any justice for what happened and now there is.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Nick and Christina. Osama was our number one enemy. We should never risk anyone getting hurt again because of him. He is definitely someone that you can not trust. I also agree that we should be able to celebrate his death. It is a great accomplishment for our whole country.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Christina. It was a good thing we shot him because he was our number one enemy in the states. If we didn't kill him and just captured him, we would have had the big risk of injuring or killing more people. After Osama killing so many people over the last ten years, I don't think any more needed to die over that man. The assassination of Osama deserved cheering because of how awful of a man he was.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Christiana because it was more risky to capture Bin Laden than it was to shoot him. The man could have hurt or men while they attempted to capture him. I think it is fine to celebrate his death because he killed thousand of innocent people.
