Still, like that CIA guy in the Simpsons Movie says: "We actually found someone we're looking for!" - good on you America, you're now equal to a yellow fictional cartoon character :P
LOL.
USA! USA!
I guess so. :(
A U.S. official tells CNN that #Osama bin Laden has been buried at sea https://on.cnn.com/k6b6tS
Well that's it folks.
Wait,
what? Already? This seems a bit too early. I'd really prefer to have visual confirmation for the world; simply "taking someone's word for it" isn't necessarily going to cut it in an event of this magnitude. :\
I also read that he apparently got a "traditional" handling and burial of sorts, which disturbs me. I don't see why a mass murderer like Osama bin Laden should receive a proper and "dignified" burial, when he pioneered offensives against
thousands of innocent victims whose bodies were desecrated by brutal gunfire, combustion, and explosions, etc. If they're going to dispose of a body by casting it off into the sea, it should be in a manner that doesn't grant the man an iota of respect or dignity.
The death of a human is typically a grave event to pay respects at, but in this case, I do not see at all why we should be forced to "be solemn about" a man (could be more equated to a
monster) who was bent on destroying others. Just as bin Laden rejoiced at the passing away of innocents, the world is uniting to celebrate his fall fervently. bin Laden is getting
exactly what he himself exacted on others. He brought it on himself - as U.S. President John F. Kennedy once said, clarifying a harsh reality of the world:
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.
After this article spreads on the internet:

After Obama's approval rate in congress is down to nine percent.
After his overall ratings are dropping to near low.
After a scratchy birth certificate is released out of the blue.
And we're also nearing election aren't we?
He comes out and declares Osama is dead and that they've made a huge dint on the War on Terror with another propaganda speech that is identical to Bush's.
Am I the only one?
One thing is certain, the conspiracy theorists have another one to go over.
No.
NO. Conspiracy theories and hoaxes annoy me enough as it is. The only major "hoax" I can recall being dispelled of is the recent "Balloon Boy" incident. At its core, either the news is true or it is not, and
goshdarnit, I need some
good, positive news in this trying world of ours that unfortunately runs rampant with evil. I don't need some jerks trying to question the veracity of these tidings of justice now; the dawn of such justice feels like it has been long overdue.
Of the multitude of responses that this caused on my Facebook and Twitter pages, these two were my favourites:
Proverbs 24:17-18 Do not rejoice when your enemy falls; when he stumbles, do not let your heart rejoice, #osama
AND
One vital step for U.S. intelligence, political morale, and survivors of bin Laden's violence. But also one giant leap into who knows what.
It's with these that I agree 100% with. Although Obama did make a kick-ass speech.
Geez, there's a Proverb for everything, it seems. XD Sigh...but can we not at least rejoice the eradication of sin that has stained this world for too long..? I mean, I have inherently sinned too, but I'm not to go around perpetuating mass murder. Let the judgment be accorded by God, then. The second quote seems to encapsulate most viewpoints of bin Laden's death with surprisingly clarity, it seems. A major victory for justice, yet we still venture into an unknown future.
But yeah, the speech was quite awesome. ^^
Thank God!
And he died under Obama's rule =3 I hear that his people will want revenge. They won't prosper in Jesus' name. I'm traveling to America in June, they best not attempt anything then xD
This - may those terrorists
never prosper:
A Prince got married and a bad guy died...I think Disney's gonna sue.
Seriously though, he deserved this, it's one less piece of s*** walking on this planet. Good riddance.
In regards to the wedding... ;)
It's a bit strange that
many people were annoyed by a celebration of happiness, yet we're ecstatic at what is normally a solemn occurrence. Still, the U.S.'s "event" of justice
has been 10 years in the making. IMO, it's good to have events of jubilee and events of upheld justice. ^^
Also, the Wikipedia article regarding got updated
very quickly. It actually looks professionally made in such short a time period, compared to several articles in existence
long before that one. D:
