In the last few hours, mixed reviews on the death of Osama bin Laden have been splattered across the internet and facebook. R.I.P. Waldo, Does this day warrent a holiday, ding dong the witch is dead, why is everyone celebrating death, blah, blah, blah. Does anyway not remember how many fucking people have died? 10 years, 2 wars, 919,967 deaths and $1,188,263,000,000 later, we managed to kill 1 person. Worth it? No God damnit none of this shit was worth it at all. It was never worth it, but God damnit this is no time for you assholes to be cynical. Osama was a 9/11 scapegoat, Obama didn't do shit, SHUT THE FUCK UP! We have so much freedom of speech that we have forgotten how to keep our mouths shut just for one fucking night. Yes, tonight thousands maybe millions of people celebrate the death of one man. But celebration is only a release valve for 10 years of war and living with the horrors of 9/11. To many people they now have closure, and that is all they ever wanted, even if he was captured to them it is still closure.
Yes I agree with many of you conspiracy ranting liberals, but right now I am happy that now so many families can finally let go of there pain because they have this closure. My cousin, and my brothers best friend have both fought in this war, and tonight was a huge victory maybe the greatest victory they have seen in this campaign and I am right there with them as they celebrate it. America is not a perfect country we all know that, for Christ sake the world itself is a very fucked up place. But how fucked up are you who would immidiatly chastize those who celebrate tonight? Some do it for the wrong reasons but what about those who did lose someone because of Osama bin Laden's actions? What are you going to say to them? "You shouldn't celebrate death, it's immoral." Well fuck you! This isn't about politics, or morals, or religion or values. It is about human fucking decency. Let these people have their moment before you jump on them like rabid dogs.
Wait, just wait, give us time to breathe, let this all digest before you throw in your two cents.
I just had a great conversation with my friend he asked me,
"If the memories of your loved ones rest with the death of someone, what kind of love is that?"
I said, "The same love that kept that pain in their hearts for so long. Like I said it is not the death it's the closure."
He then said, "Then what kind of closure is that?"
My response was, "Closure is simply, "the bringing of an end or conclusion". It, like love, does not take a single form, but many. So my response is I don't know, I just know that it is."
So please, just for a while hold your critisizm. Make a dead Osama joke, poke fun at Obama's pimp walk, but please leave the people that truly have suffered and have now found relief, alone. Let them smile and cheer as the picture of their loved one is clutched in their arms. Let the son or daughter who lost their father or mother in 9/11 or this war climb the White House fence and shout till they are horse "ding dong Osama is dead". Let the veteran who will never walk again cry as he salutes his flag, knowing that we finally got this asshole. As Americans let us give them the same patience and understanding we gave them on that clear September morning when hell rained down on this nation. Let us as Americans relax, Al-Quada will still be there tomorrow, but at least they will be there without Osama bin Laden. God Bless you all, and God Bless the United States of America.
