<p> </p>
<p>Yes, and that's why I applaud Obama for taking us back to the mission of killing or capturing Bin Laden and al-Qaeda operatives. The Iraq War was a disingenuous diversion that had nothing to do with 9/11. </p>

<p>Agreed d's.</p>
<p>Maybe part of my mood today is that Bin Laden's death brings back lots of things that I've put in a corner.</p>

<p>I guess because I did not personally know any of the people killed in 9/11, my feelings about it were not as emotional as many. Or more probable, because I've been a number of places where killing was a pretty common occurance.</p>
<p>I am glad that they got him. I normally am not a big advocate of killing as punishment, but in cases like this, I agree with it.</p>

<p>I do not believe life is holy. I do believe it is very important, but not holy. We and every other living thing on earth will die. No matter what, you kill something, or something is killed for you almost every day. </p>
<p>Oh well, that is a whole different argument.</p>
<p>bin Laudin was already living like a prisoner, so locking him up would not have been punishment for what he did.</p>
<p>Killing him may have done nothing to make the world safer, but it does show that we will not condone anyone carrying out a plot for mass murder. Killing a murderer may not keep others from killing, but neither will it make others think that there is no punishment for it.</p> I appreciate that, P.A.

<p>I agree. I think the last decade has desensitized us, numbed us. It's been too much. It's overload.</p>
<p>I am numb to a lot of what is going on right now, but in reading this, and thinking about it, I have gotten very angry all over again at our previous administration. So, so much of what has happened in the last several years could have been averted. Of that I am sure. And that includes many, many lives.</p>

<p>I agree with it being a non-event but there is still an element of sadness about it. There is no crueler breed than human beings. This will never change. Humans kill for sport and perpetuation of self purpose, and most certainly in the name of religion.</p>
<p>Evil and treachery abound. For every evildoer put down there is another to replace it. The world is probably somewhat less safe today than it was yesterday.</p>

It's been somewhat of a non-event for me too, Quinn. I had too much on my plate during that September. Watching my mother die and then 911 on top of that, I don't know, it left me kind of numb. Maybe that's why I'm having such a hard time grasping the violence in emotion so many people are expressing right now. Or maybe I'm just tired of watching one act of violence play out after another.

<p>I am surprised at my reaction.</p>
<p>I feel nothing, almost like this is a non event for me. I don't know why.</p>
<p>Maybe because I don't know that justice has been served or that this will bring closure for so many who were affected by his heinous actions. Maybe because I'm not sure that this will bring down Al Qaeda...</p>
<p>I just don't know...</p>
