    And I dream I'm on vacation 'Cause I like the way that sounds,
    It's a perfect occupation for me.

    While I doubt that the death of Bin Laden will stop Terrorist or even slow them down, the action most definitely was justified! There has very doubtfully EVER been such an intensive search for a criminal. I pray there never is again such a retaliation that takes this long and costs as much as this one both in financies and more importantly in human lives, to complete.

    My thoughts go out to all the families of the victims of 911 who must be re-living that terrible day.

    And prayers and thanks also to all the families of the troops who have lost their lives fighting the war on terrorism. It's been a long 10 years, and sadly, it will continue to be the world we live in.

    I seriously doubt Desire, that the death of Bin Laden will go unnoticed by his gang (al-Qaida). But civilization cannot cower in fear of retaliation from aggressive killers such as al-Quaida.

    When a criminal who has killed innocent people is captured, convicted and thrown in jail for life or executed through "due process of law", it does not stop killings....but it is a step in the right direction! It shows that those crimes will not be overlooked and there are consequences to face when those acts are committed.

    al-Qaida is a threat to all peoples regardless of culture....even their own!

    Hallelujah! I heard this last night and rejoiced!

    And yes, my thoughts and prayers go out to all those who lost friends and family in the tragedy and the military.

    I saw this last night. Finally. Sounds as though it was a well executed plan.

    There was a picture in the NY papers on Sept 12, 2001 that I will never forget. It was of a man and woman holding hands as if to give each other strength and courage while they jumped to their deaths from the 90th floor of Tower #1 because the unimaginable hell behind them was harder to face than that jump. Bin Laden's death won't bring them back, but if it gives their family members a sense of peace or solace that Justice has been served, then I'm good with that.
    It won't, I fear, dissipate the cloud of fear and sorrow that still lingers.
