A Long Time Coming

Tonight it has been confirmed that Osama Bin Laden was killed by the CIA in Pakistan.  His death closes the books on an almost ten year saga that has continued since the 9/11 attacks in 2001.  Terrorism is still a threat and our world will never go back to the way it was on September 10th, 2001.  And yet justice...at least earthly justice, as imperfect as it is, has been served.

Thank you to the military and intelligence personnel who have worked so hard this past decade to give the American people this gift.  Being a former military intelligence Marine I can understand and appreciate what has been accomplished and sacrificed these many years.

On a more spiritual plane, I wonder what Osama Bin Laden's encounter with the true God was like?  How surprised he must have been to not be welcomed by 72 virgins.

Good night and sleep well America.  This May 1st has been a good day.

The commandos sure deserve accolades and congratulations. But at the same time nations should gear up for revenge back lashes

Hey Amrita, how are you? What is the sentiment in India? We are kind of insulated here in the U.S.
