Osama bin Laden is dead

Reaction from world leaders:

Barack Obama (United States):

Stephen Harper (Canada):

Julia Gillard (Australia):

I welcome the death of Osama bin Laden, I welcome this news, and I thank President Obama and the US forces who have made this possible

David Cameron (United Kingdom):

The news that Osama bin Laden is dead will bring great relief to people across the world. Osama bin Laden was responsible for the worst terrorist atrocities the world has seen – for 9/11 and for so many attacks, which have cost thousands of lives, many of them British. It is a great success that he has been found and will no longer be able to pursue his campaign of global terror. This is a time to remember all those murdered by Osama bin Laden, and all those who lost loved ones. It is also a time too to thank all those who work round the clock to keep us safe from terrorism. Their work will continue. I congratulate President Obama and those responsible for carrying out this operation.

Benjamin Netanyahu (Israel):

This is a resounding triumph for justice, freedom and the values shared by all democratic nations fighting shoulder to shoulder in determination against terrorism.

John Key (New Zealand):

    Great comment on Bin Laden’s demise from our PM. It’s the comment of a competent and capable Prime Minister.

    For those who think the world isn’t watching us today, check out Google’s logo for this day. We will either be considered the smartest or the dumbest electorate when this election is over.

    Only a Conservative majority will save our face around the globe. The government of Stephen Harper is the envy of the industrialized world in this economic uncertain time. Should the people allow the NDP to get the reins of power in any way we will be considered the dumbest electorate ever in this country.

How do the NDP leadership numbers compare to similar CPC and LPC membership drives during leadership races? http://t.co/qKFCqitU #cdnpoli
