I first need to state a disclaimer: in no way, shape, or form do I support terrorist activities. Or any sort of terror, bullying included. Violence is awful and killing is worse.
But for some reason, I cringe whenever I see or hear the words, "Osama is dead." Not because of the words themselves, but because they are said so.....happily.
There was probably a similar excitement when Hitler died. Or maybe there was disappointment then, since he escaped true justice by committing suicide.
Anyway, I just think that instead of saying, "Hooray, Osama Bin Laden is dead," we should all be cheering that the world is a little bit safer. Praise the saving of lives instead of the slaying of one.
I don't mean to be preachy. I really don't--I just think it's important to put things into perspective.
