I just can't get into cheering. Isn't the US all about justice. Shouldn't he have been arrested and put on trail? What, now we just murder those who know are guilty? His body is dumped in the ocean so it can not be what- identified? Then photos on every news station of the rooms they were murdered in like it was an NCIS tv episode or something. Just the day before we murdered the youngest son and 3 grandchildren of Gaddafi's.....is this where my tax dollars are going?
I do no want to be part of some world wide secret covert espionage suspense movie and I certainly do not want to pay for it. I want our leaders to get real about the problems in this country for most of the people - good jobs, fair wages, better education, environmental protection, alternatives to fossil fuesl and affordable health care. Hell, even Mexico has affordable health care, that should shame us into doing something right there.
The sad truth is that humans have not evolved, they are as self centered and blood thirsty as ever and have not learned to control or curb these impulses, no matter how civilized we think we have become. We should be sobered by this event. For a supposedly christen country, thou shall not kill - we have taken a lot of joy in killing.
I am in no way saying that Osama did not need to answer for his crimes, I am just saying that I am not inspired by our actions and disappointed in our reaction.
Tell me it is not just me.....
Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky No hell below us
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
- John Lennon

Very much enjoyed the pics from Em's birthday!
Your comments on Bin Laden"s "death" are right on. His body was thrown into the ocean??? Perhaps it was just a convenient time to say that he is dead. Who knows for sure if, or when. Plus, does evil die with the death of one bad guy? Don't think so.
