Okay I will admit that the news of Osama’s death is wonderful news. I will also admit that I am saddened that it hadn’t happened sooner. There is, however, a problem that I have with some people’s reactions. The problem stems from congratulating Obama for his death. The main reason for this is the simple poor logic involved in these congratulations.
If one were to look at this news they would realize that the President has very little control over these strikes. Yes he has some but the real congratulations should be given to our covert operatives that actually took Osama down! These are the ones that did the work. These are the ones that made things happen. The President though has done little. Not because he is poor or that he doesn’t care but simply because he doesn’t have the time to work in these day to day operations. Further we have to consider that there has been a lot of groundwork laid to bring down this monster. For the moment my friends I ask you to consider this simple fact and neither put blame on one for his failure or put praise on another for this success. The real success comes from those that gathered the information and acted on that information to bring down this monster. To assert otherwise would do nothing more than drive a wedge between the American people, something that for now we do not need.
Once finals are over I will take sometime out of my open days to discuss this and immigration from a secular standpoint later.
