My husband and I had to struggle and still do to maintain it and this is both our joy and our sacrifice in life.<br /><br />binLaden exhorted others to sacrifice themselves in order to kill others in the name of religion (collective), yet he apparently spent his own personal time in a comfortable house with friends and family.<br /><br />Tax payer money gives America its ability to meddle and conquer and I am a taxpayer. So he targeted me (and all of us) with his attacks. And ultimately American taxpayers brought about his demise.<br /><br />He came from wealth yet disrespected life. I come from poverty yet nurture life... <br /><br />We all make vast assumptions about other people's thoughts and motivations and it would take more than either side is capable of at this time to unravel all of the differences and come to any kind of understanding.<br /><br />And that's sad and that's why I do not admire his life or celebrate his death. It is much too symbolic of the pathetic side of things.<br /><br />The collective unrest in the middle east will affect everything in our lives eventually. binLaden had enough power to destroy. From my perspective he could have used that power to make something good happen instead.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
