Dave,
I understand your point, I also understand Dr. Kings point when he said
“I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”
–Martin Luther King, Jr
But I personally believe we have something to be proud of here. The man that motivated, inspired, founded and led a group whose basic goal was to kill as many peaceful people as possible has been removed. It was done with a precise strike, reaching out and touching him in a fashion that few military units could accomplish. Nothing good could come out of leaving this “person” roaming the earth. Those that want to kill everyone else because their religious or political beliefs are different than theirs wanted to kill us on Friday and they still wanted to kill us on Monday, the weekend did not change that. OBL’s followers willingly strap bombs on their family and friends and blow them up in order to kill innocent people, shooting OBL won’t make them any worse.
