On Death

So... Bin Laden is dead. Killed by the U.S. Military. After murdering so many, was he surprised when we found him? Was he surprised when we took him out for all the pain he had caused? I hope so. He'll never see those Virgins. I've seen people happy, excited and celebrating, and I've seen people BERATING the people celebrating because he's dead. We have a reason to celebrate. Because of this one, horrible man, so many people have suffered, and so many more have died. The saying "Kill one, save millions." has been seen numerous times, and this is one of those where it counts. 

Others say this is not the end of the war, so why celebrate at all? Bin Laden was the face of the Al Qaida. Yeah, someone is probably going to step into his place, but the thing is, they are weakened as it is without Bin Laden. Because he is gone, we have come one step closer to bringing everyone home, out of harm's way. It may get worse before it gets better, we may have more uprisings and such, but another saying "It's always darkest before the dawn." fits well here. We may not see much happen for awhile in the way of people coming home, but the day when we do is much closer than it was. 

As for those who think its not right to be happy about his death and think "God" will judge him and that's the final say? A. Not everyone believes in god. And B. Yeah, he'll be judged by some higher power, but as for those of us that KNOW what he did, and know how badly he's hurt so many people, we rejoice in the fact that he can no longer cause pain, no longer cause fear. 

Now onto my opinion: Bin Laden was a murderer. He was a terrorist, a man who took more lives than he could count to in his entire lifetime. He deserved the death he received, and I am doubting he'll ever see those virgins. I hope the person that took him out is given the highest honor possibly named in the entire planet. I'm proud of the people that took him down. And I have a big smile on my face knowing Bin Laden is dead. 

I feel for all the innocents harmed in this war. I hope it can end soon.
