Bin Laden

Let's talk about death baby. Let's talk about you and me Let's talk about all the good thing and the bad things that may be. Let's talk about death. That's right, I just made a pun using a song from 1991. So, Bin Laden is dead. What does that mean? Did we extract revenge. Has 9/11 been vindicated. This was all over news. You know what scares me? It isn't terrorism. It is the fact that millions of Americans celebrated in a glorious fashion the violent murder of human being. I realize that Bin Laden is responsible for the deaths of many Americans. Does that justify murder. Maybe, but does it justify being happy about murder? I would hope that it doesn't, but apparently it has. I am a little disturbed by that fact that many people especially the press celebrated his murder. It may have been a necessary evil. I am not attempting to refute that or support it in anyway, but celebrating the violent murder of anyone is disturbing.

I think a lot of American's don't realize how many people we piss off with our international interests. We have troupes in 135 countries. http://www.lewrockwell.com/vance/vance8.html

Some people don't want us in their country. The fact they we are there is the biggest threat to America. It enables terrorist groups to heavily requite using our presence as the motivating form of propaganda. Seriously, why do we have to but our heads into so many international affairs. The answer is that we don't need to. Regardless, we are there, so before you condemn and celebrate the death of any human being, first understand their motivation and their reasons for success. I would argue that if we didn't have a presence in countries that had a large al-Qaeda presence that 9/11 would never have happened.

So...before you celebrate the death of human being at least try to understand their perspective. Even then...it is not cool to celebrate murder.

  1. I couldn't agree with you more. If you read a lot of literature coming out of higher education publications, student were presenting the same sentiments while their elders were celebrating. Just gross....
