What we should feel is relief not joy at the death of BL. I am pleased to hear that someone is able to forgive. God is just and BL will get his just due. We don't have to worry about that -- BL does. We need to reflect on what we are promoting our children to do -- kill. Look at the TV and the videos that our children are exposed to. It is time to take action. Stop the glorification of war. We have to be secure and we have to defend ourselves but if we don't pray to end the violence it will never happen. Pray and worship the one TRUE God.
I am very grateful that we have brave men like the US Navy SEALS and I am thankful for ALL the brave men and women who defend our great Nation. We are less for everyone who looses their life regardless of the reason -- intentional killing, accidental death and natural causes. God save us all. We must never FORGET 911 but we must move to end the violence and not glorify it.

I cannot believe the comments I am hearing on other sites critizing Pres. Obama for things that had to be done. One of them is the article about the 3 a.m. call from Irish Central. I'm disgusted with some people, you would think no matter who was Pres. people would be glad that this man is no longer alive. Forgiveness?? That is up to the individual...it seem's like the media is just stirring the pot trying to pit one against another.

Thanks to the U.S. Navy's SEAL Team 6 Osama bin Laden went from plotting Jihad in Pakastan to eating lamb in paradise!

While she's at it why doesn't she forgive Hitler and Stalin? Her forgiveness is just idiotic. Sometimes there are people who are simply evil - Bin Laden grew up as a spoiled millionaire.

I wonder if the mothers and fathers of the hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqi people slaughtered by US forces will be as forgiving, but not being white and western, I guess we will never know.
