I personally am sick and tired of being treated like a child and being told what is in my best interest by a government who is fiscally irresponsible and who has denied the full truth to its people concerning national security on numerous occasions. Since the word came down yesterday from the White House that no death photos or burial video of Osama Bin Laden will be made public, I have tried to wrap my head around why the decision was made. According to our President, showing those images would be like "spiking the football" after scoring a TD in football. WTF is he talking about? How can the leader of the free world compare the death of the worlds most wanted terrorist being harbored by an ally nation (allegedly) to a group of 'roided out athletes getting together once a week to play a sporting event? Im aware we aren't at war with Islam as a whole but Islam is in a war with us no matter how many "peaceful muslims" they want to parade on the news telling us that violence and western hate is bred into the youth of muslim nations. The phony politeness has got to end at some point and releasing the death photos, however gruesome they are is a small but important step in that very direction. To think that we are going to be any less of a target to terrorists because "we took the moral high ground" is just naive and puts us at even more risk to another attack. I don't recall seeing or reading about any American who was given a proper religious burial after being killed by an enemy, so why were we so quick to offer a proper burial to man who authorized the death and destruction of our citizens and buildings on numerous occasions? We are a very unified people when we need to be and at a point in our history when so many of our own citizens aren't enjoying the comforts that should come with being a U.S. citizen because they were kicked out of their home or cannot find employment, finding and killing Bin Laden and seeing his corpse in my opinion would help bring us all a little American Pride in seeing what our military is capable of.
