I'm kind of glad this guy isn;t standing trial like Saddam Hussein. Would have been too much of an anxiety and trouble for a lot of people, not to mention a huge security liability to hold him in a prison.

I'm a little worried on how authentic this thing is. They've said he's been dead since last week, but I'm not really sure how this exactly helps. I'm not saying it won't, but I doubt it will make employment rates go up or stop the war. I hope that maybe this can go forward into help build America to its higher roots.

I'm worried about the aftershocks, particularly in the middle east.

Here's a stream. Man, even thinking about 9/11 makes me feel all angry inside.

Yes, that bothers me too. Killing Osama may have just caused a bigger problem.
