To be honest,

Everyone is commenting on how Osama is dead, some are even going to the extreme to comment about what he's going to face in hell. There are jokes being made about Obama beating Osama and whatnot.

But I really wonder how Osama's family (the people who love him) is feeling right now. I'm not saying that what Osama did was right, but still. His family has now being victims (they've lost a father, a husband, a child) and yet they'll probably never be recognised as one because we're all fixated on the fact that he did terrible things. That's just the tip of the iceberg. To an extent, don't you think it's sad that while they are mourning a loss of a loved one, the whole world seems to be rejoicing that Osama is dead? And not only rejoicing, people are even making fun of the fact that he's dead. I don't think it's completely unreasonable for them to not want him to be found; because wouldn't you want the same for a loved one who did something wrong? And because the US has Osama's body, they may never get to see him again.

I think it's just sad. Sad because we get so caught up with "eradicating" all evils, that we forget to stop and remember the minorities that will be affected and we forget to show compassion and sensitivity to the people who need it.

I can only imagine that things are just going to go downhill from here...

I still believe that God loved (even) Osama.
