Walking Sunday Night

I went for a walk Sunday night and the radio was full of celebration as Public enemy #1 had been found and killed. People opened windows and shouted their feelings to the world. I found it interesting that fireworks were going off as some celebrated May Day.

My classroom was abuzz Monday with the news. I thought it strange to celebrate a death although, by his actions, this person seemed to have a lot of hate toward the US. Celebration over his death seems like matching hate for hate.

Some call it Justice.

Hellen Keller is given credit for a statement similar to this.

We spend a lot of effort fighting against Satan. If we put that effort into loving our neighbor, Satan would die from natural causes.

CIA Director Leon Panetta wrote this in a memo:

"Bin Laden is dead. Al-Qaida is not."

I don't feel any safer...
