Bin Laden's death will not bring peace
The stunning news of the killing of Osama bin Laden provided a moment of release for many Americans, who had been unhappy since the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Centre. Despite the celebrations, the United States is preparing to counter the threat of revenge attacks. The US has also warned that the 'war on terror' is far from over.
Some people think bin Laden's death means peace is coming. However, I do not agree. I do not think terrorism will disappear. Instead, it will touch off a new war on terror. Bin Laden's death will anger the terrorists, and they will hit back at the US.
Moreover, there are probably many heads leading al-Qaeda, so terrorism will never end.
While acknowledging that al-Qaeda are terrorists, we also have to consider why the group attacked the US. In fact, the US is a great power that invades other countries. Isn't that terrorism, too?
The death of bin Laden does not mean all will be well with the world.
