Abraham Lincoln on the Death of Osama bin Laden

My fellow Americans, a great stride has been made in War on Terror.  Justice has been done, and bin Laden's shadow across our great country no longer exists.  There are calls to stop the fighting, to bring our soldiers home from overseas.  In light of these, we must remember that one death does not do justice to the thousands of American lives lost during 9/11 nor those lost fighting our wars.  Each life is a blow to America, and the death of Osama bin Laden does not remove the threat to American lives.  The wounds done to our country by the events of 9/11 are far from healing; for some, they never shall.  It is with this in mind that our country as a whole must dedicate ourselves even more fully to eradicating the threat to our country, to ensure that such attacks by Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups never occur again upon American soil.  We must, as American citizens, ensure that these deaths are not in vain.
