Osama Bin Laden killed

[DLS]

I know this is a minority point of view, but I just saw this quote which captures my feelings about this killing than my own words could.


"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" ~Martin Luther King, Jr.

I think this is the best post I have seen in this forum though it's not about photography. sadly enough we have to face the reality. I only hope our kids-if there will be a winner of this war- will learn something from that.

I agree and well said. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a very wise man. It is so hard sometimes to forgive our enemies (nearly impossible in this case), especially one as evil as Bin Laden. But if we don't try, we sink deeper into that darkness that Mr. King spoke of.

My concern is that this event will trigger retaliation. I hope we are sufficiently prepared and safeguarded against most threats.

Sean, Valid concern, but keep this in mind. This guy, with his millions of dollars, thousands of supporters and thousands of troops have been targeting Americans for the last decade. Luckily for us, our military, intelligence and law enforcement agencies have been able to keep us "relatively" safe for the last decade---I have every trust that they will continue to do so. That is why I can sit in my back yard and continue to take picures and the only thing I have to worry about is focus and exposure.
