My opinion .....
Seno/DelBoy ...
Not to get the argument going AGAIN, however ... while I agree that the war on terror is far from being over, it remains for the living to celebrate every single terrorist death that we can. What I tried to say before, is the fact that while I cheer when I hear we have killed another terrorist, what I am really doing .. is cheering the fact that justice for those who are no longer amongst the living, has been administered to another cowardly terrorist. It is the ONLY justice that comes close to balancing the scales.
I recognize that unless/until the factors that have caused so much misery in the world are addressed/cured, the ONLY justice that can be served up for the victims of terrorism, is to remove ANOTHER terrorist from the land of the living. While I know that terror begets terror and death begets death, the innocent victims of terrorism need to know that we won't forget them. We as free people, need to attack terrorism wherever/whenever it rears its ugly head, and send as many terrorists to their just reward as we can - their innocent dead victims demand it.
I realize that it is difficult to define who is a terrorist and who is just fighting for their country or their freedom ... however, I personally maintain, that ANY group that uses terror as its main weapon against innocent civilians, are terrorists and should be treated as such. To celebrate when justice is served up to a terrorist is NOT childish or immoral ... sometimes that is all that is left for the living after a terrorist attack.
What I have posted is JUST my opinion and is given as such. It is NOT meant to push buttons or to demean other's comments/beliefs. I fully believe that we (as the living), have to celebrate any time that justice for innocent victims of terrorism, is administered to a terrorist (dead OR alive).
