I just read a friends blog about current events and she said that she couldn't feel anything but sadness that a human's life is gone. I understand her thinking and what she says, but I can't separate the man from the evil. I understand feeling sad for the family that has to mourn his death, but Karma bites us in the ass sometimes! I can honestly say I have never wished for nor hoped for his death, but I have hoped that justice would be served. Osama Bin Laden has evaded American forces and allies for almost a decade making capture and trial almost impossible. It is not up to me to decide how justice is meted out. I feel sad for his family having to deal with his death, but no sadder than I felt for them having to be associated with him in the first place.
I won't say I'm celebrating his death, but I won't say I'm sad that he's gone. The world is less one tyrant/terrorist and I don't believe that anything else would have made the world feel safer. There is no way the man would have changed his viewpoint and prison would have done nothing. Many much less notable tyrants have controlled things from prison - why should we believe that Bin Laden would have been any different?
My concerns now center on the probability that Al Qaeda will probably be much more active - at least initially. They will now feel that they have to prove they are still just as powerful and THAT scares me! I pray the Gods/Goddesses hold our troops in their hands and keep them safe until things calm again.
Ok, I'm done. I hope everyone has a great day!
