Osama Killed

As I prepared for my morning workout on Monday morning I tuned into MSNBC to catch the headlines. Wow! Obama Bin Laden killed by Navy Seals in an early morning raid on a compound near Peshawar on 01 May 2011.
This was something that most Americans have prayed for since the Twin Towers were attacked on 9/11/2001.
I felt relieved, almost elated. After a while I thought a bit about why I felt good about this.
Was it revenge?
After a bit of introspect I realized that I felt relief that no more innocent people would be murdered by this madman. As easy as it is to feel satisfaction of vengance for his murderous acts I feel better that I know that he is no longer able to contribute to future attacks.
