Statement on bin Laden Death

Posted Monday, May 2, 2011, at 10:52 AM

I am very proud of our U.S. military and intelligence community for finishing a job they began after 9-11, in a dark hour for our nation and for the families of nearly 3,000 Americans killed in those heartless attacks. I hope the death of Osama bin Laden provides comfort to the many people still aching from that tragedy. The enemies of freedom should know that America will not stand down for one moment from the mission of keeping the world safe from the scourge of terrorism.

Now if we'd turn our attention to our domestic war criminals, justice would truly be served.

Thanks to President Obama for his directing our military in ridding the world of this evil man, but...

1. Someone will take his place as leader of al-Qaeda

2. "On the other hand, they've created 100,000 more terrorists in getting rid of just one. The most serious error was in dumping his body into the sea, instead of turning it over to the family for a proper burial. Many people get seriously upset when the corpse of a relative or friend is not handled according to tradition.

And by sneaking into a foreign country and assasinating some of its citizens, the American government has shown (again) that the rule of law is for everyone else but not for it.

We may feel good for having gotten even, but Jesus did not teach vengeance."

-Jim Hedges, Prohibition Party candidate for president, 2012.
