Santo Domingo.- Foreign Relations minister Carlos Morales lauded the combat operation that killed Osama bin Laden, al Qaeda terrorist network leader and mastermind behind the September 11, 2001, attacks, calling it a step to limit terrorism in the world.

Morales noted that after the United States, Dominican Republic was the Western Hemisphere country with the highest number of mortal victims, at least 25 Dominicans, during the attacks that were killed more than 3,000 people.

“The same as the families, friends and compatriots of the American victims, we Dominicans know the pain of those who were hurt, as well as the anguish that still face a world where terrorism, violence and insecurity persist as part of the daily life.”

The official added that the world is still a dangerous place, for which all governments have the obligation to protect their citizens everywhere.

Since every action brings a reaction, don't expect the islamic extremists to stay crossed armed...Their U.S. integrated Cells will probably "sleep" for awhile and strike when the U.S. becomes complacent again....I predict they'll strike during the presidential elections by hitting all polling places which is what they usually do in the middle east....if it happens, remember you saw it here first folks.

Islamic Terrorism will never be defeated as long as we fail to recognize that the enemy is Islam itself. Not all Muslims are suicide bombers, however the Koran itself demands world domination and promises paradise for those who sacrifice their life to this end. Contrary to the politically-correct apologists, Islam promotes war, intolerance, and oppression.

"If you should die or be slain in the cause of God, His forgiveness and His mercy would surely be better than all the riches..." (Surah 3:156-)

"The only true faith in God's sight is Islam." (Surah 3:19)

"Seek out your enemies relentlessly." (Surah 4:103-)

In another article in Yahoo, it states that there are many questions as to why Osama was buried at sea. Some say, they should have thrown him naked and tied up into a pigs pen. Then again, that would be promoting animal cruelty. The real issue here is that 3,000 plus humans didn't have a say where they were going to be buried, did they?

I agree, Osama was on kidney dialysis prior to 9-11.
47 story building do not fall in their own foot print because of a relatively minor fire.
Note to disbelievers, check it out - no plane here boss!!
The real news is after years of Americans of all stripes Obama's handlers have released a supposed long form of his birth certificate (which is something the Federal for Board should have had ion hand prior to allowing him on any ballot. It brings up more questions than it purports to answer.
Hospital name is same as at present rather than what it was know by at the time, birth registration number is out of order for time of birth (his social security number was assigned to residents of a state he never lived in another 'slip') The list goes on, best crowd that news off with something spectacular and even more controversial.

Who cares where Obama was born - no one can say now that his is "un-American"!
Hey, Nazareth did not exist until about the year 200 AD - and what proof is there his married mother was a virgin? Yet you accept without question Jesus' preposterous birth.

there have been shoe bombers and there have been underwear bombers and times square bombers-and others still, presumably, that where short cut before they reached the headlines.
but the wave of furture violence that seemed invitable in those fraught months after 9/11 never MATERIALIZED within the borders of the united states.
it seems OSAMA BIN LADEN inspired far more FEAR and TREMBLING than his actual capabilities deserved. NOW HE IS DEAD. this is a triumph for the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
CIVILZATION is not fundamentally threaten by the utopian fantasy politics embodied by groups like al-qaida or the mix of THUGS, fools AND pseudointellectuals who rally around their BANNER.
it seems to me they can strike the united states they can wound many, they can kill some, they can goad us into tactical errors and stategic BLUNDERS. but let me tell u something
they ARE NOT, AND NEVER WILL BE, AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT.

This event would have taken place no matter who was president. There actually are some people that work for the U.S. Govt. that are professionals, know what they're doing and get the job done.

Guess what, they're patiots too.

fritz, who is the idiot?

You believe in a biologically impossible virgin birth, and not a modern-day birth certificate? Because of the Bible?

1) Only two of the four Canonical Gospels even mention a virgin birth, the other two don't. Oh, a miracle is a minor detail not worth mentioning?

2) There is unanimous agreement amongst Bible experts that not a word the New Testament was written until long after the death of Jesus and the apostles (former disciples of Jesus). The Gospels attributed to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were not written by anyone alive at the time, but rather many more than four anonymous authors. Not one original document exists today, only copies of copies of translations. The original documents were translated from Greek. Jesus' uneducated riff-raff followers would have spoken Aramaic and probably couldn't write much anyway.

3) Other than Christian mythology (the Bible) there is no secular, authenticated historical or archeological evidence of any of the supernatural (miracle) aspects of the Bible. None!

Many Greek and Egyptian "gods" were born of earthly mothers and heavenly fathers - like much of the Bible, light on originality, historically inaccurate, devoid of evidence and morally corrupt.

danny00,
So since 9/11there have only been minor "shoe and underwear bombers"?
The thousands of people killed and injured worldwide by Islamic terrorists where not by the isolated shoe and underwear bomber. Attacks on Americans and their interests and allies are against America, whether on American soil or elsewhere. Islam wants to dominate the world and America and Israel present its biggest problem. Elimination of bin Laden is a very good step, but many more are needed, and soon. If other so-called "moderate" Islamic states become Fundamentalist Theocracies (as seems to be the trend) then it will be too late. Then you can say goodbye to the "political correctness" that is currently inhibiting more decisive action by America and her allies.

DR's biggest earner is tourism, mostly from America. DR's second biggest earner is Dominicans working overseas and sending money home, again, mostly from America. If America sneezes, DR catches cold. The demise of bin Laden is good not only for America, but the rest of the world,. especially DR. It saddens me that many Dominicans seem to see it as nothing to do with DR. The story in stupid Mexican and Brazilian soap-operas? Now that's important!
