Dead?

Dead. It's a bit of a frightening word. And when you put it in the same sentence as "Osama bin Laden", you usually think there's been a terrorist attack on the states. Except for today, it seems. According to breaking news, Osama bin Landen is dead, killed in a firefight. Is it too good to be true? They claim they have DNA evidence...

I know that there's a lot of people who are really happy about this. This is the same man who ordered 9/11, right? So we should be thrilled, yes? It's a big step in the war.

I've still got mixed feelings. I don't know why. This man was awful... But do people really deserve to die for what they believe in, just because it's not the same you believe? I hate war so much... It's just so much unnecessary violence and death. So many families are now lacking sons, fathers, brothers... Daughters, mothers, sisters...

Things are only going to get worse... Killing only leads to more killing.
