So I’ve yet to actually see a news report about Osama Bin Laden getting officially killed, but I am on the fence about various reactions from discussions online, Facebook, etc. Yes, the man was awful to our country. Yes, he’s done atrocious things. Yes, up until his current state … he had gotten away with murder. But at the end of it what have we unleashed by killing this man? Will he be viewed as a martyr to his cause? Will his followers become more enraged by our attack on their leader? Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy for the prospect of peace and hope that is our true motivation here. Unfortunately I think it may in fact just cause more pain and suffering for those who don’t see this as an eye for an eye … if that’s even what we’re calling it.

For now, I’m going to avoid thinking of the kids who are dancing around after kicking the hornets nest, I’ll be laying on the other side of that grassy field with Spun, sunshine warming our faces, blowing dandelions in the breeze. Peace.
