Okay, so apparently Osama Bin Laden is now dead. Shot in the head and buried at sea. I thought the guy was dead years ago....
But what to do with this information? Celebrate>? Take it as a win for team America? Or take the other approach where we look at our population in disdain for celebrating a man's death. I am sure many people celebrated at Hitler's death, but does that make it right?
Interesting fact: Hitler was killed on April 30th, Osama Bin Laden was killed on May 1st
We look at it as a celebration because he was the main conspirator who made 9/11 happen. Many people died as a result of this man's plan to get revenge or to scare America and Americans. But since then, there has been a man hunt searching for him, The Iraq/Iran War, and much hatred towards people of Muslim decent from this country and hatred from the rest of the world against America.
Does the death of this man actually have any importance to the war on terror?
My opinion, is that while this event may have little significance in the big picture, it unites and gives closure to those Americans who were deeply effected by the 9/11 attacks. For them it brings peace and for them I hope they celebrate. The nay sayers who say we should not celebrate over a man's death, do not look at it as an opportunity to unite the country, at least for a single day.
Mission accomplished soldiers, now we have some closure. Today we celebrate, and tomorrow we move on with our lives.
