Osama

Lot of people celebrating Osama Bin Laden's death. Did not sit well with me since revenge is overrated. Was looking for a way to describe these feeling and found a fairly good one here:

Been some interesting subjects on forgiveness on PBS and saw a movie called Triage in which a psychologist forgives fascists for killing. In one case on PBS the Amish forgave a man for killing 6 girls in their community. Were arguments for and against such approaches. Am I saying to forgive Osama, don't think so, but celebrating his death does not sit well either.
