Osama is dead!

When I first heard about this I wasn't all that thrilled. I definately wasn't sadden though. As the news of his death became more and mroe popular it began to mean more and more to me. Today in class when we discussed this topic and it brought new thoughts and ideas. This whole event has unified the nation just as it had after 9-11-01. We forgot our differences and focused on the goal at hand. That didn't stay though and we soon began arguing and bickering to ourselves all over again. Hopefully this will help keep that sense of unity, but I highly doubt it will. Our country is fighting over who's republican and who's liberal way too much. I myself even get sucked into heated debates over politics. Politics do nothing but enrage people and distract them from their duty, to serve and run our country. That's what we need more then ever. Instead of everyone critisizing each other we need to be working on ways to better ourselves as a nation. It's either that or everyone in congress is useless to me. Osama being dead may not help all too much to unify our nation, but hopefully it will raise appreciation for our military and the brave men and women in it. Too many people today are against the military when they should really be against war in general. They risk their lives to fulfill their duties, even if they don't personally agree with them. I also hope that with Osama's death there is a new found peace within the families who lost loved ones during terrorist attacks.
