Death of Bin Laden: Tocqueville
After many long years of searching for Bin Laden, this test of democracy has come to some form of closure. Although this is not the same as ending all terrorism, defeating the most known character in Al-Qaeda is a step in that direction. In order to maintain a democratic government, actions that endanger democracy like this cannot be left alone. It would not be in the nature of this strong governing style to allow someone to destroy safety in America, and hide without consequence. This is the type of action necessary to democracies. This is the same mentality needed in other democracies like France. Action to threats needs to occur in order to maintain safety in our country. Therefore the steps taken by America to kill Bin Laden were correct, the amount of time required though was alarming. As a new democracy we too need to learn from events such as these to be more prepared in our futures. I believe that removing Bin Laden will help the people of the democracy in America feel safer in their country although I think that the problem is much deeper. This is just one of the steps which have and will be taken in order for a democracy to continue being successful in this time.
