Bin Laden celebrations

Finally have a working keyboard so I should be writing more regularly.

I haven't written the last couple of days because I have had a personal situation to deal with. And I am not totally sure what to think about this whole Bin Laden celebration "debate".

I totally get and respect that there are people who are offended that there was a celebration after the news of Bin Laden being killed  came out.

I didn't even think there would be a problem with it.

From my perspective, I was thinking that it was more of a victory celebration like would happen after a war was won. And I have no problem with that.

But I have heard and read, thanks to my sister, another perspective. I can understand that it is inappropriate to celebrate another humans death.  But Bin Laden was not just another human; in my opinion he was more evil than he was human.

And I don't just think he was evil because of the many deaths that he helped occur. I think that he was also evil because he perverted a spiritual belief that many good, righteous people have and turned it into an ideology that justified taking lives for no other purpose that to "further"  a cause.

And the major cause he had was the downfall of our American society.

In my mind I equate Bin Laden with Hitler, David Koresh, and Jim Jones. And other than Manson those are the most evil beings that I can think of.

Honestly, one of my first thoughts after hearing of his death was, "if there is a Hell I bet Hitler and Bin Laden are fighting with the Devil over who runs the place."

So to me this was a small victory over evil and that does deserve a celebration.

But I can understand that all some see is a death of a human and feel that all deaths should be treated with respect.  And I can admire that position even though I don't really understand it.  So if any one reading this is upset over the celebrations, I'm sorry that you are feeling that and I hope you find a way to deal with it and can see this as a learning situation.

Finally, on Monday night I hope I was hearing things but I really thought I heard a woman on TV say that she was thankful the war on terrorism is over.

I hope no one really believes that. If anything we should be more prepared than ever for possible terrorist attack against our country.

Someone else will take over leadership of Al Qaeda and they will be out for revenge. I am sure there are other groups that might want revenge also. It would not surprise me if a power struggle for terrorism "leadership" takes place. The scary question is, could there be a worse group than Al Qaeda be out there?
