While I understand their jubilation, I just can't join in...it's not over by any means and to think that there won't be ramifications is ridiculous. It was very weird for me to watch.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14048243639634834643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6797643656973915876.post-43850368227713750722011-05-04T20:32:53.471-07:002011-05-04T20:32:53.471-07:00I wrote a very similiar post a couple of days ago ...I wrote a very similiar post a couple of days ago myself..Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01627707785036650323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6797643656973915876.post-14698965035514250772011-05-04T15:35:43.948-07:002011-05-04T15:35:43.948-07:00I commend you for your honesty!

He gives everyone chances, but he also believes in punishment for wrongdoing. But what punishment did Bin Laden deserve? That is the real debate. <br /><br />I want to also say glad I am that your kids have such loving, sympathetic parents that are raising loving, caring kids. We need more parents like you in the world, and I say this with 100% honesty. <br /><br />And since it won't let me type my URL in the comments below, I am from http://anniesheart.com (it isn't in my blogger profile)Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16483641233177919179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6797643656973915876.post-58463282067232876772011-05-04T14:58:35.917-07:002011-05-04T14:58:35.917-07:00Yes it really is an odd situation as yes it is goo...Yes it really is an odd situation as yes it is good that justice has been served.

What are we teaching our children?? Be vengeful. An eye for an eye. It's okay to kill if a man deserves it. All these messages are not okay with me.

It was a tragedy.<br /><br />I did feel some pride in America when the news was announced.<br /><br />But, couldn't take all the ugliness. Or the political debates that happened right after.Shellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06811697675090627618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6797643656973915876.post-46699872852830685932011-05-04T14:03:46.628-07:002011-05-04T14:03:46.628-07:00Kim - could it be the celebration that saddened yo...Kim - could it be the celebration that saddened you? I remember watching the celebrations in the Middle East when the towers went down, thinking "how could they be happy about this?" Those are my thoughts here. Although I do feel this man was of nothing good, what bothered me most was watching Americans celebrate in the way we, as Americans, said was inappropriate and horrid at the time. My personal view on his death is my own, but I must say, I'm disappointed in how Americans acted after being so disgusted by how others acted the same way they did almost 10 years ago.Tracy Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09459521827156191183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6797643656973915876.post-62494597544534845182011-05-04T13:57:42.572-07:002011-05-04T13:57:42.572-07:00I pretty much agree with you!

Sad that we live in a society with so little respect for life. And sad that people don't seem to realize that killing this one man didn't stop the evil ... in fact it may have kicked it up a notch!Beth Zimmermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07047047792782914757noreply@blogger.com
