Hunt for Bin Laden

The New York Times released the article "Behind the Hunt for Bin Laden." The article details the ten year search for the terrorist who was recently killed by US Navy Seals in a raid of the mansion he resided in. The president and other important members of the government and military had planned this attack after finding the location of Bin Laden and sat and watched the attack take place in Washington while being updated from a CIA leader in Pakistan. In my opinion, I don't see why we wasted so much money, resources and time looking for one man. I know he was responsible for the death of many people, but we only killed more people in the attempt to find and kill him. And now that he is dead, many of his followers will want revenge, and will probably get it. The people who celebrated his death so publicly here in the US seem a little ridiculous to me also. It was pretty irreverent and a little bit scary to see how excited people got over the killing of a man. That's just my personal opinion though.
