I know people aren't going to like this post, but here goes.

Bin Laden, although he was a terrorist and caused so much grief to so many people, also had a family who presumably loved him no matter what his beliefs were.

I don't think killing him is going to stop terrorism or al quaida (sp?) and may in fact have the opposite effect.

I know he has become a symbol for terror across the world, but really, I don't think cheering in the street is an appropriate response. He was no doubt a cold blooded killer, but he was still a person.

Now that he's dead, what don't we show our humanity instead of becoming what we hate?
