Because this beckons some manner of reaction

Pretty much every news source, internet, televised, and broadcast has been flooded with the news that Osama Bin Laden has been killed by U.S. Military action. My reaction was at first skeptic, and now cautious. Killing or capturing Bin Laden has been a tantamount priority in the mission in Afghanistan. He and the Al-Qaeda have been an adversary and figurehead for radical perversion of Islam. On May 1, 2011, The news channels and President Barrack Obama have confirmed that Osama Bin Laden has been killed through U. S. Military Operation. I wonder, and question what effect this will have on Operation: Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. I wonder if troops will be brought home, or how much longer will they be deployed overseas? I wonder if Al-Qaeda will attempt some manner of retribution for the death of one of their public leaders. I wonder if there will be a a strain on Pakistani/U. S. relations. I stand, cautious and watchful, hoping that things will improve of only slightly.
