I remember how celebrations erupted across the Middle East and Muslim countries after the 9/11/01 attacks in America. Crowds cheered across the globe at the devastation against America, and we (rightly so) were repulsed.
Recently, Osama Bin Laden was killed by our American Special Forces in a raid on his home. Americans, as the Muslim world did in 2001, celebrated and praised the assassination; even today Americans continue celebrating as the terror group replaces Osama Bin Laden with another leader. As the details of the raid by Special Forces against Osama became public the world learned Osama while in the presence of family, was shot twice as he was unarmed and not resisting.
Each day I spend time reading and observing events around the world; keeping up on activities of finance, business, government and religion. Today I watched a video originating from Pakistan where an unarmed non resistant civilian was basically executed by military forces in broad daylight and at a public park.
Unlike any other video, this video actually disturbed me, as armed military personal arbitrarily executed a compliant human being. There is guilt differential between Osama Bin Laden and this young Pakistani, but I share this video to show the emotional, graphic, tragic and personal reality of an arbitrary execution. Draw your own conclusion but I personally have problems with this type of execution by armed military, no matter who it might be.
