for the (cyber)books

Osama bin Laden was reported and confirmed dead yesterday.

I don't know. I still don't know. I felt like I should be relieved. But then I felt that it wasn't right.

But when people that I can at least safely assume were all for hunting him down are suddenly posting things on the internet that it's not right to celebrate his death, I get angry. I don't know why I feel that angry, but I just do. Maybe it comes down to how I feel about the hypocrisy of the church.

Or maybe I know people who didn't deserve to die, at least not yet, go "before their time," and often suddenly and sometimes violently. And Osama bin Laden, I feel, was not one of those people.

I also feel that our current President, who was against our military being in the Middle East, should not be praised and glorified for "accomplishing this mission." I'm probably way out of the loop these days as far as politics go, but I don't know how much involvement he had in this.

But, again, that's just me.

I'm going to sleep, and I'm going to sleep conflicted. Better than angry, I suppose.
