I'm not that good of a person I suppose. ;)hushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05532820460835325762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372252427572428194.post-49149978913880596222011-05-09T21:25:31.216-04:002011-05-09T21:25:31.216-04:00Yeah.

Some people were partying in the streets like it was 1999 and I just didn't get it.<br /><br />I'm not the same as you and Cloud... I don't really understand the emotion. I know some people would say that I don't understand because I'm not an American. I don't think that's true, I think I'd feel this way if I were an American, too.<br /><br />My feelings are purely relief and closure and peace that this chapter has an end. But the war on terrorism continues. Not to be a downer, but it does. And it's all just so very sad that I can't bring myself to celebrate in a joyful happy way. There's nothing happy about this war, even the milestone victories of the death of major players of the opposition.Melbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13248392923064542646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372252427572428194.post-68280526932433369892011-05-07T11:51:20.720-04:002011-05-07T11:51:20.720-04:00I didn't feel very celebratory, either.

As evil as he was, Osama bin Laden was still a human being- someone's son, someone's father. I don't think there was any other way to deal with him, but that bothers me, too.<br /><br />I haven't blogged about this because my feelings and thoughts are a jumble.Cloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09317847285050447789noreply@blogger.com
