Though I do think, or hope, on some level at least, that the fact that USA followed through and found Bin Laden and killed him is some justice that perhaps some terrorists will be deterred. When we're talking about suicide bombers,though, not sure anything will deter. A radical shift in the political landscape of the Islamic countries would have to occur, say, spreading the oil wealth to their poverty stricken people instead of a few uber wealthy families.sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12049849753930092628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1565128606520217803.post-74950868899308851502011-05-05T09:40:24.581-07:002011-05-05T09:40:24.581-07:00Well said.

Nothing's changed, except now the Dept of Defense and the CIA have an excuse to ask for even more money for their black ops because they've had a "success." I see nothing to cheer about in the fact the US is glamorizing death squads as heroes.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18359007443116549436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1565128606520217803.post-38858836423498937432011-05-05T09:12:53.269-07:002011-05-05T09:12:53.269-07:00There are plenty of people to replace him.

Probably nothing will change as a result.knittergranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160027913020949487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1565128606520217803.post-69418771135555917632011-05-03T20:22:25.476-07:002011-05-03T20:22:25.476-07:00I find the celebration a bit unseemly, but I am at...I find the celebration a bit unseemly, but I am at least proud of how the U.S. disposed of his body. <br /><br />Yes, all this is a self-perpetuating cycle.Jenn @ Juggling Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14455967210924573398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1565128606520217803.post-1967133573579131282011-05-03T18:26:53.020-07:002011-05-03T18:26:53.020-07:00I didn't have it in me to celebrate.

The death of bin Laden does bring some sort of closure to 9/11 but not to the aftermath - the wars, the deaths, the trauma, the disabilities, the families ripped apart, our economy in shreds, Medicare/Medicaid/SS threatened to pay. Somber reflection is all this death is getting from me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
