So I found out that Osama was caught and killed. I’m mixed up about what has happened here. I feel like on one hand it’s great you caught the leader of a terrible organization. But on the other hand I feel like the reactions and what has been done to the body since then seems alarmingly wrong. Since when is it ok to celebrate the death of a man. When did we decide to put a face on evil? Evil doesn’t have a face.

I also question why the US has custody of his body. Why is that important? What do we need his body for? I feel like we are in ancient times of Troy, where Achilles is pulling Hector’s body around as a statement of power. It just feels wrong.

I’m completely confused on how to feel about Osama’s death… It reads in articles that after a fire fight (the insurgents opened fire on US troops and there was a shoot out) Osama was found dead. But he had a bullet in his head. That reads as an execution…

So I leave this blog post unsure of what to believe, and how to feel. And mostly just wishing that all the troops could come home and wartime would be over…
