It's been a few days since Osama Bin Laden was killed by US Seal Team 6. I haven't said or commented on any posts that have been on Facebook or any other media. So now I've decided to comment.
I'm glad the man is dead. However, I will not and I did not celebrate his death. It may be just me, but I find it odd that we were upset when Iraq or whoever it was, celebrated the deaths of the Americans on 9/11. And then when Bin Laden is killed, people flooded the streets in NYC and DC and partied like it was New Year's. Don't get me wrong. I'm happy he is dead. I think the world is a better place without him. I just don't think it is right to celebrate it.
About the conspiracy theorists out there. First of all, get a freakin' life. He died. The body was buried at sea so his grave couldn't be a shrine for all fanatics. He died this past Sunday, not a week ago, not a month ago, not even 3 years ago. It was not a bombing raid. It was the Navy Seals who kick ass all the time. No, Pakistan shouldn't have been told about the raid before it occurred. Why tip off Bin Laden? They knew where he was for the past few years.
As for where Bin Laden will be spending eternity: I don't know. It's not up to me. I believe in a benevolent God. A just God. A fair God. I personally wouldn't want God's job. I'm sure God sees something good in all of us. Sometimes He probably has to search very deep inside people (serial killers, pedophiles, dictators), but I think He can find it. I hope so. None of us is perfect or completely innocent.
Thanks for reading.
