The killing of a man should never be celebrated.
Don't get me wrong - I do believe that he had what was coming to him. Planning and organising terror will get you hunted down and killed.
However seeing footage of Americans celebrating in the streets at the announcement of his assasination has left a bad taste in my mouth. Not towards them specifically - but to the world and how we handle things these days.
What has happened to us that we think it's okay to kill completely innocent strangers - in the name of Religion that is supposed to teach us to love, respect and take care of one another? Why is Religion polarizing us?
Why is it okay for one government to think it's okay to murder another country's leader? What is fair in war these days? Is terrorism the only resort left to the much poorer party in this war, and does that make it okay?
And what has happened to us that we now think it's okay to dance and sing at the news of a man's death? Who's fault is this?
There are two sides of answers for every question above. Who knows which one would hold more water... But one thing's for sure though.
Innocent lives - American and Muslim - have been lost in this raging war. The blood of these people are on the hands of everyone that thinks this is a war worth fighting.
Because it's not.
