I hate to be a Debbie-Downer, I really do, but I don't think it's a laughing matter. While his death is, obviously, going to make many people happy, I don't think it's the end of everything.

I couldn't agree more. Though he's gone he still has masses of followers who fight in his name. His death most probably will add fuel to their fire and just incite further hatred towards those they fight against. Having said that, I suppose even without them, in the world as it stands today there's always a reason to be afraid.

You give your all, do what you must...with God we live and God we trust. Amen. ~ STAND UP FOR OUR TROOPS

I agree with this also.

I will never agree with all our military does, but after hearing Soldier's Angel and having a few buddies who have been there and back...I agree. I have no idea what this means. And no one walks away from this battle, though a few of my buddies have.

The battle rages on and I know not who is righteous and who is not.

But this is a victory.

I only wish I knew how much the sacrifice meant. And what it has been for. For a few friends of mine never returned and I still stand here wondering why I lost them, and what that means. I hope they died for the right thing. I may never know. I am glad this horrible man is gone. I only wonder if the loss of my buddies makes it worth it. Personally I cannot measure the loss. Good men. Sweet and honest men who committed themselves for a larger cause. In the big picture I may never know. None of my buddies made it to Walter Reed or got a Stevie Ipod. They were lost in the desert. I hope their loss makes a difference as their loss to me meant the world.

The World. To Me.

I pray it was worth it.

there is closure & yes happiness in osama death~ but i don't think americans are taking this lightly~ i know i'm not sitting here thinking it's over..."check please", not at all~ you know there is going to be an attempt at retaliation, this scares me to death~ but i'd be lying if i didn't say i sighed a big sigh of relief when i saw the news, that osama is no longer~

i deal w/ our troops on a daily basis~ i run a daycare for military babies, i live a mile from SAC offutt air force base~ thankfully everyone of my parents & friends who have served over there have come home alive & in one piece~ some of them have friends & comrades that weren't so lucky~ we had a rash of soldier's funeral here this past two weeks, a whole group hit by an IED~ was so sad seeing the bodies returned & the services held for them~

every time i hear of yet another soldiers death i can't help but weep for them, i want them home~

Let's please keep the Stevie Nicks board dedicated to Stevie Nicks. Anything goes in Chit Chat, though.

I tried, but it got moved over here!

Agreed.

So the consipracy theorists already started this morning - saying he's not dead since they didn't give the media a photo of his corpse.

As far as I know, he was only identified by his face. No one is talking if DNA was really obtained or not. He was quickly buried. Shady.

I heard dna was obtained & matched to a sister's dna that the U.S. had. Then he was "buried at sea."

You're right. They confirmed it about an hour ago.

I like that he was buried at sea so that no place could become a shrine to this monster. I wonder if it was recorded or documented in some way. You are essentially throwing away the symbol of pure evil and you're just throwing him in the sea?!

Good riddance.

I kinda think they should've just blasted him out into space. You know, like what happens to your poo and pee when using the toilet on an airplane. FAWOOOSH!

Correct. Throw the book at these darn kids!

I like the idea of his body burning up in reentry into the atmosphere. But then having that evil rain down upon the globe? *shudder*

I like the idea of his body rotting and turning into crab food better.
