Facebook was alive today with victory posts. Osama Bin Laden finally brought to justice after nearly a decade long war on terror.  I am grateful this man was brought to justice, but I guess I wish things were different.  That humans weren't evil and do heinous acts against others. But is not the world we live in. He lived by violence and cruelty and paid the ultimate price for it.  He is in Hell forever separated from the one true God. I know the world is a better place without his evil in it, but his followers are alive, well and full of hate. More than willing to continue the terror the now dead leader began.

"Today, the message our forces have sent is clear -- if you attack the United States, we will find you and bring you to justice," Cheney said in a statement.

Reporting from Washington—

A CIA-led team killed Osama bin Laden at a compound inside Pakistan Sunday and recovered his body, bringing to a close the world's highest-profile manhunt after a decade long search, President Obama announced to the world Sunday night.

"Justice has been done," the president said solemnly in a hastily arranged late-night TV address from the East Room of the White House. Bin Laden, he said, "murdered thousands of innocent men, women and children" and his death was "the most significant achievement to date" in the U.S. war against the Al Qaeda terrorist network that Bin Laden founded, led and inspired.

As described by the president and top administration officials, the successful effort to track down Bin Laden centered on a man whom the officials described as a trusted courier for Al Qaeda, a protégé of Khalid Shaikh Mohammed , the operational mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks.
