The dominant political discourse shows no doubts that what happened was "just". President Obama proclaimed at the White House: "And on nights like this one, we can say to those families who have lost loved ones to al Qaeda’s terror: Justice has been done", and UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon said: "Personally, I am very much relieved by the news that justice has been done." In Germany, chancellor Angela Merkel phrases it a little differently, saying: "Ich freue mich darüber, dass es gelungen ist, Bin Laden zu töten." Evidently, she, too, albeit daughter of a Protestant pastor, whose church preaches "Thou Shalt Not Kill", thinks what happened was an act of justice.
