Don't Become A Monster In Order To Defeat A Monster

The mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks is dead.
This should be a jubilant time for our country, right? Absolutely!!

We still need to keep our guard up though, right? More than ever!!

So this means we should call our troops home now, right? Unfortunately, No.

While a great victory for the U.S., terrorism is still alive and well. This is a war which will most likely continue to be fought for the rest of our lifetimes.

My biggest, and really only, problem with the reports I've read regarding this matter in the past several hours is the constant questioning of why bin Laden was given such a proper burial when many of the victims of the 9/11 attacks were not given the same opportunity.


Simple really...
It's because collectively, we as Americans, are better than that.
