The Good, The Bad and The Very Ugly

Disgrace On You AmericaOn the day that the USA is delirious over the reported death of Osama bin Laden, I was torn between blogging that, or events in my own life which, to me, are far more important.

The announcement today, that US Navy Seals, under orders from President Obama, had killed Osama bin Laden is over every news program, website and newspaper.

Whilst it is obviously an important story, I find the whole thing rather surreal and not a little disgusting.

The disgusting way the American public have shown their delight at the death of this man, shows exactly why The West is so reviled. But the whole story is all too West Wing. They have been searching for this man for ten years, and the day they find him, they kill him, take back to their aircraft carrier and ‘bury him at sea’. No proof, no photos, nothing.

Sorry, but for me, it is not the huge story it appears to be for everyone else.

It just goes to show how very, very far we are from a World of Peace and Compassion.
