So the US killed Usama bin Laden! I'm not sure how to feel about all that. The vast majority of people are celebrating. I overhear conversations in the lunch room at work and the joy in their voices can be heard. But what will the death of bin Laden actually accomplish? Time will only tell.
I read a lot of history. I have for years and I have always wondered if people living during historical events realize the impact of what is going on around them. Now I am living in what has to be a pivotal point in history and I can answer my own question. But now the real question is what happens after this?
Our country is heavily involved in three countries that could fall apart at the seams any moment. But the most dangerous is Pakistan. A country that claims to be our ally, but has done nothing but made things difficult for us. But that isn't really surprising. We are hated for our freedom to think for ourselves. Perhaps we are too arrogant for our own good and have elicited that hatred. But maybe we are just trying to spread a freedom that we won over 200 years ago and that appears as arrogance.
