goodday everypony :3 ~ So I finally get the time to start my computer up and I am being bombarded with osama bin laden being dead, whats that all about. But I guess the real question is, do we care all that much ?

@critialcloudkicker I don't, but apparently everyone else does :\

@starlightbolt and you are in the US, so you are probably really anti-war or see the long picture and cant help but wonder "so, what REALLY has changed now ?". Regardless *brohoof* good to know I am not the only one who thinks like this. ~ which probably will be percieved /strange/ and /weird/ by most

@critialcloudkicker I just don't like the mindless celebration of somepony's execution. It just seems rather barbaric to me. Unfortunately this is turning into all about revenge, instead of what it should be about, which is keeping the world safe from terror.

@starlightbolt how right you are that this is all a doleing match between the US's ego and their opinion of what is, and isn't, terrorism. Now don't get me wrong, I am not in favour of terrorism but you have to understand that the very definition of terrorism is subjective. ( although, yes, 9-11 was a terorist act, possibly even the people who did that fully realized that ). Just because Osama died I see a rise in troop morale. Even more if it actually turns out to be Osama, and if not, expect the US to push a "no its not" into a "we are unable to determine" regarding whether it's Osama. Face it, US troop morale is low. and now that Osama might or might not be dead, some of the extremists might not be happy. The result ? more bloodshed. Nothing has changed for the long run.

@critialcloudkicker I am actually pro-war myself. I feel that there are things that just can not be solved with words. There are just things that both sides need but both can't have. For now war is a very needed thing in the world UNFORTUNATELY.

@starlightbolt Personally I think war is one of few choices we could have made out of a list of dark, very dark, possibilities. If you just look at how people in the middle east live you'll soon realize that they basically live the same as most Europeans did 200 years ago for as far as rules and tradition go, and to a certain height even fashion. Imagine what mess would have been created if this distance even grows bigger. Imagine looking up from your current standpoint to a civilization advanced enough to fly to the moon, who have no need for police anymore, let alone an army. That would be the end of the world. As for the disputes between china and north korea. Dare I say that this is a cherriesing match ?
