The topical evil's demise

Bin Laden was killed by American special forces the other day. The world knows and many rejoiced. On Facebook, I posted that I was glad he was dead. While I like to think I wish no one dead, I am glad this guy is dead. All my no-means-bones and liberal-righteous-friends think I am evil for being glad of any soul's demise. I am glad he is dead. Really.

He sought and succeeded in producing the death of my country men and women. He wanted to impose a medieval shariah law and the restoration of a medieval caliphate in Europe, North Africa and Asia. He said he was an aesthetic jihadi. He maybe was a mujaheddin warrior against the Soviets. He was a man without a county. He died in bed with a bullet and I am not sad. I am glad.

I can elaborate. I can espouse and expand and extrapolate. I am glad that if there is a God or an Allah (which is God in Arabic), Bin Laden has met God. I hope Bin Laden is judged (if judgement happens) as he would judge others. I wish him no harm; I am glad he is dead; I hope the afterlife, if it exists, is what he deserves and judges him accordingly.

The P.S. to this is that I googled "bin Laden dead" and his death pictures were popping up as was a "cleaned up / photo-shopped" version and the death pictures disappeared with each re-load page command. Weird and scary.

The "death" pictures were fake.

Well said. I agree that it's good that he's gone and it's time to move on.
