Thanks to our military men and women, and our president and commander-in-chief Barack Obama, Osama bin Laden has been brought to justice. While I wish bin Laden would have been captured, tried, convicted and sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole, after nearly 10 years we can finally say: Mission accomplished.
Now that we’ve done what we set out to do after 9/11, with a deadly detour into Iraq, let us bring our troops home from Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and wherever else we have boots on the ground. After all, the last time some other country had boots on the ground in our land, we resented it, hated it and rebelled against it and sent them packing back to England.
Once we welcome back our troops to America, saving billions of hard-earned taxpayer dollars, we will be able to focus on helping those in need in this country, educating our young and traveling down that long and winding road to peace on earth, goodwill toward all.
