So yesterday was one of those days people ask, "where were you when Bin Laden died?". I am not really into all the politics, I avoid getting involved in debates and most of the time hate expressing my opinions because it will usually spark a debate.
I am happy for the ones who lost lives in 9/11 and those families in the military. I feel like yesterdays confirmation of Bin Laden's death gives them some closure and justice. I feel kinda weird celebrating someones death, even though he was a horrible person. It just feels weird to me, maybe its because I am not really involved. I didn't get personally involved with 9/11 either. I cried at the memorial and watched all the news coverage but it didn't affect me personally. So with Bin Laden's death I do not feel personal justice.
I am lucky not to have had anyone die in 9/11 or anyone affected by the war but I know so many people have been and I am happy with them. It is funny the things in your lifetime you want to remember. Princes Di's death, 9/11, William and Kate's marriage and now Bin Laden's death. Will be interesting to see the rest of the "Where were you?" questions over the next 60 years.
I agree, it feels strange to celebrate anyones death even a monster. Also, I feel the same way that I hope it brings closure and relief to the people that lost loved ones in 9/11.
