Osama is DEAD! I know I am sure I am not the only one to blog about this, but come on it is every where in not only the news but Facebook.  I do not have television at my house and on Sunday I was just hanging out when I received two text messages telling me to turn on the television that I do not have.  Instead I went to CNN.com.  The first thing I saw was that Osama Bin Laden was dead! I went to a few other web sites to read the same thing.  President Barak Obama came on for a special report to inform the United States that we had located and killed Osama Bin Laden.  This was great to hear, but the best part of all of this was the reactions by others. 

Getting on Facebook I could not miss all of the statuses people had put up in response to the death of Osama.  Some of my personal favorites:

“Party in the USA! I’ll drink to that”

“Game over, Good game America”

And of course there were some of the serious ones that revisited all of the deaths and damage that has been done throughout all of this.  Which is very true, and very sad I agree.  I am in no way downplaying all that has gone one in between this time, so I hope no one takes offense to this blog.

My friend called me later that night and told me that after Obama’s speech she heard fire works throughout her apartment complex, she assumed celebrating Osama’s death.  My first thought was who in the world has all of those fireworks just sitting around at their house? My second thought was, of course, I want to be there!!

With all of the responses aside I think it is a great feat for America that we finally got our revenge.  I am glad in a way that he did not die of natural causes and that we actually got to seek revenge for ourselves. 

On the other hand I do feel like since we have been over there we have opened up many more problems and issues that just because he is dead we still have a lot more work to do, but I will not rain on every one’s parade.  I think it is great, GO AMERICA!

Now the White House is debating whether or not to release the photos of Osama’s dead body or not.  I know that there are many skeptics out there that will not believe his death until they see it.  I say show the photo…if you do not want to see it look away.  The news reports should warn their viewers that they are about to show it.  I would not mind seeing it, not that I do not believe it, It just would not bother me to see something like that.  I am sure this will be a tough decision for the white house to make and I cannot honestly imagine them showing it but more power to them if they do! Again, GO AMERICA!
