Reflections on Recent Events

This week the world caught it's breath for a moment in time when it was announced that the number one terror suspect in the world had been shot and killed in a US military operation.  There were many feelings running rampant around the world; relief, joy, sorrow, emptiness, it seemed no matter which you held someone was there to criticize you for the way you felt.  How strange we are not even allowed to feel as individuals anymore.  This man was the source of great pain globally; this was not just something isolated to the US; however we took up the banner to find him and finish what he started at all costs.  If I were one of the people who had suffered a loss due to his evil I would have been hunting him myself for the last ten years; so I have no issue with the outcome.  I would not have said to this insane man hey buddy what do you have under those robes, he could have had a detonator set to blow the whole place if ever invaded; no one knows and why take the chance.  Now the game is up a notch whether we like it or not; there will continue to be those who believe his subverted message of the Qur'an.  It is time to stop hounding our government and let them get back to work on the ever evolving issues of our safety, jobs, health care, etc.  The president has shown to us and the world he can multi task; but it would really help if he were not dealing with insignificant issues.  I don't understand why people don't understand that to keep them safe sometimes it requires secrets so that no one gets hurt and we are better for it.  One thing is for sure if he had any assets here in the US now that he is dead I do believe it would be appropriate to confiscate and use for payment to us for the work it took to find him!  So I guess what I am basically saying is stop ya bitching and get on with your living; let the people who know deal with the stuff they got deal with it ; stop trying to make a mountain out of a hill top and take this off the AIR.  We wanted him we got him and it is over!  Same message to all his friends!

  1. Thoughtfully and reflectively written...processing with the children really small or unborn 10 years ago about the jubilation some feel now is critically important at this time. Hopefully teachers, parents, etc. will focus on working with them in a creative way. We don't want them to believe we're a society rejoicing the busting in a country and taking out people. So many dynamics to be considered in this new paradigm in which we're living. See you soon, dear.
