Osama Bin Laden Killed
I did not find Osama Bin Laden was killed until around 8:30 am yesterday morning. As the day progressed and more updates were being revealed, along with video images from celebrations all over the world, the reality of just how significant this was became evident. The images from the site of the World Trade Center and surrounding in New York were extreme jubilation. It was a strange feeling to see the images from Americans in celebration over killing someone. That is something we only see in other countries where they are in celebration and are burning flags and images of some political figure. And the preacher that burned the Koran is another news story that you wouldnn't expect to hear about in America, but we did. What does this say about the direction our country is going? It was sad to see the families of those that lost loved ones in the 9-11 attack, but joyful for them to express their sentiments of having closure in a sense. They have waited ten years for this day and in some strange way brought some peace. The media reported how the attack on the World Trade Center changed so many lives and brought many changes to our way of life. We will continue to see the changes and stand guard for what door this event will open in our future.
