Osama's Death
This week has been one that is full of opinions and emotions from the whole world. Everyone has been speaking on the recent death of Osama Bin Laden, which has caused many American's to celebrate. This event has really made me think of how long ago the tragedies of September 11th actually were. One thing that has bothered me though was many people we're saying how we should not celebrate any man's death because it says that in the bible. My way of thinking for this circumstance is that Bin Laden was such an horrid individual and he caused such great pain and evil, that the fact he is gone off the face of the earth is a reason to celebrate. I do understand how we should not get into the habit of running to the streets every time someone passes on, but Bin Laden did nothing good that I saw in my lifetime. Now that he is gone this may spark some issues. I feel as if the terrorists groups will be enraged by the way we buried him at sea and how America is celebrating the death and this may cause them to attack us again. I hope that all of the hate that our two cultures have for each other will pass on because religion should not cause death.

The celebration in the streets was not only about his death, but about a huge moral victory in the war I think. I agree with you that religion shouldn't cause death.
