Osama Bin Laden free write

I had heard about Osama getting killed while I was playing Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 on my Xbox (what irony). My dad had told me that something big was on the news and that I should go up and see. When I saw it I was kind of in disbelief. When I saw that it was in fact true, then I thought that it was weird that he was killed in a mansion next to a military base just outside the Pakistani capital. I had always imagined that he was being hidden by most of the middle east countries in a cave somewhere. I also always imagined that he would die somewhere in a cave from special forces. Then I got really worried because Al-Qaeda probably won’t let this go without some kind of retaliation. I mean, even if Osama wasn’t the true leader of them, he was the face of terrorism and of suicide bombers and of the extreme Muslims. This definitely hurts Al-Qaeda in one way or another. I mean, he was the guy who we couldn’t find for about 10 years even after he killed the most Americans on American soil ever. I mean, we find criminals who have committed smaller crimes faster then we could find Osama. It’s like Al-Qaeda is a gang that an army can’t take out or arrest. I just had a thought. You know how there are gang wars over land and drugs and stuff like that? What if we sent a bunch of gang members and leaders over into Al-Qaeda territory and had them start a gang out there? They could fight Al-Qaeda for the growth of Heroin, could fight them for land, and even for recruits. Kind of like fighting fire with fire. I guess we would probably be making a second gang like Al-Qaeda but at least they wouldn’t be suicide bombing people or at least people for religious reasons. So no more bomb threats on airplanes from terrorists, no more blowing up of U.S. agencies in other countries. Things would probably be a lot more peaceful over here. Then I guess that we would just be moving our problems to places where they already are having problems and in an area where there are a lot of key resources. I actually wonder what would happen if we and NATO just left the middle east. We just removed all troops and all support to the middle eastern countries and left them alone for about 20-30 years and just let them solve all of their own problems. Those countries would eventually form the way that the people want whether that means them retaliating or supporting someone. Ever since the end of WWI, the middle east has just gone crazy because the support and order they got from the Ottoman empire completely disappeared. Mostly it seems to me that the more the U.S. tries to help out, the more that we are getting them angry with us and getting ourselves into trouble with other nations.
