So last night while watching tv a special news broadcast came across that Osama Bin Laden was dead. This stirred up a lot of emotions within myself, and even more so when the tv would pan to other cities such as D.C. and NYC having people in the street celebrating.
I just can't do that. The celebrating part that is. Yea it's a good thing justice was served, but to celebrate in that just seems against everything I am made of. I just can't sit back and celebrate in the street over something like this.
Now on to the what if's.
What if we did capture him and keep him for interrogation?! I'm sure we would have a TON of issues in that such as escaping or his followers trying to break him out, Our tax money paying to keep him alive, Hope for his followers.
Killing him was to me the most obvious and easiest means to justice. However, now what?! Will his followers attempt in punishing us?
Oh I am sure in some way they will... they have been attempting to do it since before 9/11. Will they succeed? We can only hope not.
America has succeeded in it's attempt to enforce justice for all the lost lives of that day and we can only hope that they don't succeed in finding their "justice" for killing their head honcho.
America will always have enemies lurking around the corners I just hope and pray that we don't let our guard fall too low so they win.
