  • Osama's death was significant, because it was a symbolic victory over terrorism.

    Osama was the face of the largest terrorist network in the world, and his death was a heavy blow to the organization. Not only is his death a symbolic victory over terrorism, but it also severely weakened Al Queda's terror network.

  • I believe that the death of Osama Bin Laden was significant, because it put an end to a very bad chapter in American history.

    The death of Osama Bin Laden is significant, because it puts an end to a very bad chapter in American history. Having him still out there and continuing to make threats to America extended the fear that came along with 9/11. The death of Osama Bin Laden also shows his supporters and followers that he was not invincible.

  • Osama played an important role in world history and, therefore, his death is also significant.

    Nearly every person in the world knows who Osama Bin Laden is, and if that does not make him a significant figure, then I do not know what does. As his life, and the actions he took in that life, had significant impacts all over the world, so does his death. For those who disagreed with Osama's actions, his death is significant as a symbol of justice. For Osama's followers, his death may mark a call to retaliation. Although the full effects of his death have not played out yet, there is likely more to come out of the basic conflict of religious and cultural differences. Quite possibly, Osama's death may become more significant in the years to come.

  • Osama bin Laden's death is significant because bin Laden was the terrorist responsible for 9/11.

    For Americans, the biggest event of this century was the bombing of the World Trade Centers on September 11, 2001. The second biggest event was the death of Osama bin Laden. Responsible for the murder of thousands of people, bin Laden was a terrorist that threatened the stability and peace not just of the United States, but of the whole world. His death is significant because it represents both a literal and figurative end to one of the worst eras in American history. Because he is dead, the Taliban lacks a clear, strong leader. Because he is dead, Americans feel a sense of closure and a renewed hope in the future. When one man's death makes this huge of an impact, it is most certainly significant.
