Kutcher to replace Sheen

Charlie Sheen is now in the past.  The former star of the TV series Two and a Half Men has gone down a rocky road in the past couple months.  He lost custody of his kids and been kicked off his TV show.  Ashton Kutcher has replaced him on the same show.  He will take the place of Sheen and become the new star on the show.

I think Kutcher is a very good actor.  In his past movies and shows, he has been hilarious and I really enjoyed watching them.  I think he will do a good job on Two and a Half Men.  It was a very successful show before this situation occurred, and hopefully it remains one after this substitution.

Osama bin Laden Dead

After 10 years of trying, the US has finally killed Osama bin Laden.  On Sunday, a group of Navy SEALs went on a special mission in Pakistan to kill the Al Qaeda leader.  After many thought he would be hiding in a cave somewhere in the mountains of Afghanistan, bin Laden turned out to be in a mansion not far from Pakistan's military base.  Could this bring more violence from other Al Qaeda members trying to get revenge?  Was it worth spending 10 years of money and men to search and kill this terrible man?

I think it was definitely worth spending all that time to kill bin Laden.  He was not only a threat to the US, but also to the rest of the world.  He was the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks and also killed thousands of other people.  We did the whole world a favor when we killed him and he became no longer a threat to us. I hope the other Al Qaeda members will not retaliate, and I hope we find the new public enemy #1 soon as well.
