Its hard to choose between political strife, terrorism and natural disasters. A very busy year indeed.
Having Osama killed brought our troops home!!
I don't feel that the death of Osama had anything to do with bringing our troops home. President Obama brought them home because every other thing he has tried to do to influence the voters to re-elect him is a miserable failure!
Bringing our troops back was the biggest story of 2011 and The death of Osama Bin Laden was the cherry on top.
I agree with MsMatch totally! he is trying to ruin this country and who ever votes for him will allow him to do it.
The death of Osama Bin Laden was way over due! Bring the troops home.
I think "the Arab Spring" was the story of 2011 event that will have the greatest impacts.
A tremendous tragedy but Osama was a close second.
Those who believe Obama is the problem scare me. I am offended by almost our entire congress and Supreme court justices. They've been bought.
The Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan was a terrible tragedy so many lost lives.
