Thoughts on the death of Osama bin Laden
I watched along with millions of other Americans, the news that Osama bin Laden has been killed. I find myself in shock that our nation is at all in joyous triumph regarding such news. So yes, maybe Osama was a bad man, orchestrated the attack on our country we call 911, and been in hiding for all of these years undetected. My questions are these: What exactly do you feel this supposed death has accomplished? Do we as a country believe the news we see? Do you believe that this death will now cease the plan that he may have had for our country in our future? Do you really believe that, if he is in fact dead, that he wasn't prepared for such an event, if it took place in his future? Do you believe that this death isn't fueling the fire within his followers to bring even more tragedy to our country with the amount of loyalty they had to this man and their country, AGAINST our country, to where they would choose to by martyrs for their country, as they did once before? I have the hardest time trying to figure out that if this man, who has caused so much tragedy in our country, was found, why it is we didn't bring his behind over here to force him and forward to our country the opportunity to pry this man for information to find out what may be in store, or who else may be in association with his plan that may have already infiltrated our country, as they did once before? Did we kill this man for lack of exposure, that it's possible that someone amongst us as a fellow American could have been in cahoots with Osama and to kill him was a better idea then him snitching? Why was he given death when men and women all across our country are held for trials for murdering of innocent people DAILY, but this man has to answer to no one because we didn't even make that an option? We didn't even give this man the option to say "I tell you nothing". We just killed the man without any scrutiny, punishment for what we have endured as a country with his supposed orders, or exposure? Do we as a country not believe that any information that this "terrorist" honcho may have had, whether good or bad, could have shed some light on the travesty we call 911 for all the people who fell victim of losing their lives or the family members who lost loved ones? That the victims would have maybe loved to have for their own personal reasons such information. #1: It seriously amazes me that it took us this long to find this man; #2: I am baffled at the fact he was given an easy way out when we don't even do the same for our fellow Americans; #3: Can you imagine how great some families/individuals would feel if the one's they accused of crimes against them, were immediately put to death without a single peep as to why, whether it be lie or not? I just can't wrap my head around how this supposed death is a come-up on our part as a nation. This also falls into my theory of fighting. 'MY THEORY: Almost every person has AT LEAST one "ride or die" person in their life, that if something came along to threaten the health or life of their person, that they wouldn't do everything in their power to make sure the offender/enemy would pay for what was done. A fight doesn't solve anything in my opinion. All that I see it doing is, once a fight happens, no matter who gets beat down the worst, you have the friends/family that will come to their aid to find resolution or revenge on the offender and in most cases, such comes in a multitude of animosity and anger. Fighting is a domino effect to cause more fighting and hatred.' So with that theory we have "killed Osama bin Laden", we have now thoroughly pissed off his followers, who are I'm sure, already filled with animosity toward our country. We stay overseas fighting this "war on terror" that is STILL going on and killing the Americans that continue to be sent over there, to accomplish who knows what, because we're going over there killing husband, wives, & children. Why is it their country isn't allowed to have animosity towards our country and act? They send a few people over here and kill many of our people but then we send multitudes of armed forces over there for YEARS on end doing this on a regular basis. I think they deserve to be a bit angry with our country. If roles were switched, we sure the hell would be. Does anybody else out there think that our eyes are being covered from certain truths that the leaders, we call government, don't really desire for us to know? It doesn't matter if you agree with my opinion or not but have you ever sat back and thought in different angles of this situation and not just in the way that our government and the media would prefer you to think? I don't quite care who this might offend because I have my opinion and I'm entitled to it. There are just so many questions that arise when I heard this news and quite honestly it scares me to think of what such action on our country may have set us up for in our future.
