Nearly ten years ago, I woke up- the way millions of other Americans did- and found our world in disarray. Not knowing the severity of the matter, I made cruel jokes and was disciplined for doing so. I then knew how this affected our country and the world. It changed my outlook and for the last decade, my opinions went from blind optimism towards George W. Bush's actions in the Middle East to cynicism about politics.
As all of you know Osama Bin Laden was killed in Pakistan. His body has been buried at sea, so that there will be no chance of anybody finding his body. Many are hinting that this victory will seal President Obama's re-election. The feeling around America is that of relief and many feel that closure has been served to American Citizens. The news, though already disputed by conspiracy theorists, is exciting. I ought to be writing a history report right now, but what could be more historic than the beginning of the end of a ten year war on terror.
