Am I the only one who has a problem with this entire thing? I must be judging from the celebrations in the streets over someone being killed. Look at the blood-lust on our streets. People dancing and celebrating and singing and thanking God that a man is dead. Vengeance is no longer the Lords, it is the peoples. It should show you that most Christian-Americans don't buy into the God bullshit either. All they want is blood. Bathe in it America, you deserve every drop of it.
What happened to peace? Peace at the end of a barrel I guess. We used this guy as an excuse to invade two countries which did not require our assistance. Does anyone think for one second that we are going to pull our troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan now that we have killed Osama bin Laden? If so, point them out to me so that I can either slap them or have them committed to the loony bin.
I think Americans everywhere should have a drink tonight for Osama bin Laden. He gave us an excuse to start two wars that have claimed countless lives. What more could a hate-filled, blood-thirsty nation ask for? This is who we are as a whole, America. We love to kill and we glorify those that do so. After that we celebrate and praise God for giving us the power to smite our enemies.
All this for the low, low cost of our freedom, our morality, our ideals, and our beloved constitution.
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.
