Perspective

Watched the clip of Jon Stewart talking about Bin LAden' death. He said some folks would have "perspective." Some pithy words of wisdom of how anyone's death is not to be celebrated. That every person is valied and we, as civilized people cannot allow ourselves to rejoice in any form or death.
I, like Jon, paused for a split second, and resoundly said--YES WE CAN REJOICE in the death of one person. Especially if that one death brings hope to the world.
Bin Laden was an evil person. I for one refuse to accept the idea tha evil people are ALLOWED to walk amongst us. Because evil exists, does not mean society has to fit it into their schedule. We do not have to give it a chance. We do not have to try and modify it. We do not have to try and love it into submission.
We can however eradicate it at our earliest convenience. The longer evil is permitted to walk the Earth, the more innocent people are going to die. How can we mourn the deaths of innocents, while claiming to rehabilitate the evil? Does this not stink of conflict? We must love the evil in hopes of converting it while innocent are allowed to die beacause evil has yet to accept responsibility and accountability?
If evil were eliminated from society, how many innocents would die?

We rejoice over the resurrection on Easter morning, yet we refuse to celebrate the death. If there was no death, there is no redemption. Yet society steadfastly claims that the death is an abhoration in their eyes, in so far as to continue blaming the people of that time for the death. YET was it not HIS plan? Did he not orchestrate the whole event? WHY>?

Was it nor for our benefit>?

Sometimes DEATH must be a celebration.

Osama Bin Laden's surely is reason to celebrate.
