My brother comes walking in my room last night with this look on his face that I've only seen very few times in my life. Anyways, he tells me Laden is dead. Yay. :/ Why the lack of enthusiasm? Because as great as it is, I can only wonder what'll happen now that he's dead. People are going to be pissed off (sorry Mrs. Stovall for the bad word) and I know dang well that I don't want to be in the United States when we get punished for what was done.
Or maybe people will come to their senses and realize that this was one man. He wasn't like.. King William or something. I'm happy either way. Why? Because my father is a member of the National Guard and spent 18 months allllll the way on the other side of the world for this stupid war and I'm happy it's coming to a close. I support America and I'm an extreme nationalist, but I also believe that sometimes it's just better to realize we can't simply go to another country and expect to fix their problems when our own isn't going to be fixed over night. We need time, patience, and a lot of willingness. Why don't we fix things here before we go running off to the other side of the world?
OH! :-] How good it is to be an American.
