Osama bin Laden dead!!!

[Janet]

You are such a wise young woman Lindsey and I agree with you. I am already tired of the "rejoicing" over his death. There should be no doubt of retaliation.

Oh there will be retaliation - but he had to be killed, in my opinion. I can't imagine what it must feel like to have lost a loved one in the twin towers or on one of the planes, and have the master mind of the attack on the loose for almost 10 years.

I can certainly understand the rejoicing in the U.S. and I share peoples' joy that he is gone, but I know without a doubt, that terrorism is not over and there will be more.

You're not raining on our parade Linds. This is everybody's fear now, but I agree with Gayle. I think he had to go because he was so evil.

I think that's what Obama had to deal with in making this decision. I guess it was a question of not waking the sleeping giant, or facing evil.

I have to say that I feel like a weight has lifted. I do not feel 100% okay with rejoicing in somebody else's death, but I have to be honest.

[Lindsey]

I agree he had to go too.

[Janet]

Yes he definitely had to go even though the world is really no safer. My problem is the celebrating, rejoicing, etc. I don't feel any better or safer with him gone....so hard to explain. Just don't know how to express what I'm feeling
