Osama Bin Laden has been confirmed dead as of today. While people are celebrating the fact that he is no longer alive I am mourning the fact that we had to hunt him down in the first place. I am in mourning for all the people who lost their lives because of the actions of that man and his followers. I am mourning for the fact that those senseless deaths were in the name of religion.
There is a small part of me that wants to shout for joy at his passing for the most part I am just sad. I am also concerned because I am sure that there is going to be a huge backlash from his death and I am afraid for all of our soldiers still in combat zones. So while people on FB and blogs across this great nation make crass and crude jokes about the killing of a man I will be silently praying for all of our service members and their families as well as the innocent people in Iraq and Afghanistan who will be caught in the backlash.
