Usama is dead. And there is a lot of talk about it recently, so I thought I should sit down and share my opinion. I understand that there are people who are very offended that we're celebrating his death. "Death should not be celebrated", "he went to hell, how can we rejoice in that?" I understand these viewpoints, but I'm not sure I agree. I know that he is dead, and yes it is a tragedy. But honestly, how many lives have we saved by killing him? They were planning an attack for the 10th year anniversary of September 11th. More lives would have been lost. We've cleared the world of a powerful terrorist. And yes, I am sad that his soul was "wasted". But I don't believe anything would have saved him anyway! He hated us, with a deep and strong hatred.
Maybe I'm off here. I know that we're supposed to beat them with love. But there's also a time for war and a time for peace. They attacked us. They killed innocent people. They laughed in our faces and celebrated our sorrows. And you want us to just let him walk? Justice, people. God serves it in different forms. This week he served it through some very brave Navy SEALS. And a president, who after all this time, has finally done something right.
