Quickly enough, I reminded myself that I didn't actually personally know anyone who died on 9/11 or in the 10 years of fighting hence. Although the celebration in our house Sunday night was limited to my wife offering me a high-five, who am I to begrudge people closer to ground zero their celebration?
There has been some Christianized "love thy enemy" talk floating around the web and I think that is good - even though I think it is simplistically misplaced.
The fact is, OBL CHOOSE to mastermind:
9/11
The subway bombings in London
The embassy bombings in Africa
The Cole bombing in Yemen
amongst others . . .
I wish he had chosen differently.
Even after all these atrocities (and they are ATROCITIES) he could have chosen to repent, and turn himself in. Does any reasonable person really believe that if he had made one of his many videos repenting and offering to turn himself in that he would not have gone through an international war crimes tribunal? The truth is, he was not repentant.
I wish he had chosen differently.
Even as elite Navy Seals stormed his compound (ask yourself what crimes you would have to commit to have navy seals from another country storm your house) , he could have laid spread-eagle on the ground and been taken into custody. He chose to fight to the bitter end - committing suicide by Navy Seal.
I wish he had chosen differently.
I believe that God loves Osama Bin Laden - just the same as he loves all
At the end of it all, the choices were his.
I wish he had chosen differently.

I thought it was odd too, all those young people dancing in front of the White House. Poor form, I thought. But someone reminded me of this verse, Proverbs 11:10: "When the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy."
Hey, I guess it happens in times like these.
Nice.
Great post.
