Bin Laden... Dead!

As everyone probably very well knows Bin Laden has finally been shot and is dead. The press released that he was unarmed when shot in the head twice by US troops. In the process of getting to Bin Laden a female and two couriers were shot. Although a huge sucess to the U.S and a feeling of redemtion to many, I begin to wonder what effects this has on the people of Sudan? Do they also feel relief or do they feel that we have done them wrong? Many feel that we disrespected his body by buring at sea.. but i ask why would it matter compared to what he has done wrong to so many people. Overall I feel that this is a great sucess but also I am concerned with what negative effects this is going to have on both our country and theirs of his homestate. There is much fear about the chance of another attack from his successors, and who know who we might have upset in the capturing and killing of him.
Just a few thoughts after I read this article http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-13274176 and curiosity about how much both countries might change because of his death.
