craziness! also hey news, please dont show the idiots partying on the white house lawn as the only expression of america upon hearing that osama is a goner. that's embarrassing.

i kinda wished they had only captured him so that he could be tried but whatevskis i guess.

i bet Bush jr. got all pissy when he heard about it.

best part was when i told my mother that the Navy Seals were the ones who went in and killed Osama, she said "Navy Seals? Where was he, underwater?"


let this be a lesson to future terrorists. attack us once and ten years later, we'll get you back.

Ha. Yeah, I kind of had to explain Navy SEALs to a co-worker this morning for the exact same reason.

after watching the meida just embarass the crap out of our nation with that reckless partying going on and after reading many terrible comments on news websites and on how the Obama administration handled the buiral at sea I found this quote,

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that." —Martin Luther King, Jr.

To continue to wish evil things upon someone who has finally paid the price of their own evil is to become no better then man you persecute. Don;t get me wrong, I am glad that OBL finally got what was coming to him...I just don;t think we should be celebrating it as if we won the world series.

Oh internet...

I have to apologize for the qoute i posted earlier...after further research it was not entirely accurate and like many on facebook I just reposted without thinking. The actual quote from MLK is below:

"Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction. So when Jesus says “Love your enemies,” he is setting forth a profound and ultimately inescapable admonition…. The chain reaction of evil — hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars — must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation.” - Dr. Martin Luther King

While the previous quote borrows from this the first part of it was a little too appropriate for the occasion and was added to it as a sort of mash-up quote. Although after reading the actual quote I feel his words still ring true. Don't get me wrong I think the world is a better place without OBL and this is an event that is important for ALL Americans and the world...but after reading some of the hate speech surrounding the way the current administration handled the burial of the body instead of parading it around and dragging it through streets like many have suggested as some sort of visceral revenge party, I can't help but try and take a higher ground and point out that if we continue to wish evil things upon someone who has finally paid the price of their own evil do we not become the very evil we persecute?

i want to amend this statement to say:

let this be a lesson to future terrorists. attack us once and we will spend trillions of dollars on multiple unecessary wars, kill tens of thousands of people including thousands of our own soldiers, kidnap and torture thousands of people in secret and not-so-secret prisons, lie to the UN, lose our badass reputation in the international community, perform hate crimes against our own citizens if their skin color/ethnicity/religion is similar to yours, stir up more anti-american sentiment in the world than ever before, strip our citizens of our own constitutional rights, elect racist/fear-mongering politicians who will steal money from us and be instrumental in the collapse of our economy, make people take their shoes off in the airport and throw away their hand lotion bottles, and then, ten years later, we will get you back. so there.....?

exactly...i agree with all of it accept the lie to the UN part..I could give a crap about the UN considering they still do not recognize the genocide that has befallen Darfur.
