Words

Sorry I haven't posted at all this week - I have been swamped with work, and it hasn't been getting any better!
I thought I'd share a few of my thoughts left over from Friday's discussion.

As Liza said, many families can relax and gain closure in grief for their loved ones that were killed by Bin Laden. But sometimes I feel that maybe it wasn't really Bin Laden that killed them, but his voice. He persuaded men to commit suicide to carry out his ideas. His words moved men to kill thousands of innocents. His words told them that it was the right thing to do, because America was evil. It was his words.
Now his body is dead, yes, but in all of the people that he inspired to kill for the sake of what he believed to be a better world, his words still carry on.

This is why I do not feel relieved in his death - only more scared.
