Second Day Back

Back at school. I only had one lecture yesterday and only one today, because for some reason Greek History lectures don't start until next week, which is annoying. I went up to uni at 11 yesterday only to find out that I didn't need to be there until 2. I only have one tomorrow too, and none on Thursday. This is good. I have two major essays due this week. A history one worth 35% of that class and a Greek Lit one worth 30%, so it's a pretty big deal.

Other than that I've just been watching movies and stuff.
And quite a lot of stuff has been happening lately, eh?

I mean, first there was the earthquake.
Then Osama.
And now a tornado. Right where I used to live.

I've had a while to think about this whole Osama deal. I haven't been able to blog on my usual blog lately due to some computer issue, so instead of rushing right into it I've been sitting back and forming an opinion.

I think it's disgusting that people are celebrating his death. Of course, he did terrible, horrible things, but he was still a human being. And to celebrate the death, no, the murder, of a human being is completely wrong.

I think we need not to celebrate, but to remember. Because of Osama, all those people died in 9/11. Instead of cheering and shouting and praising the soldiers that did it, we can think about this whole ten year struggle has done to America and the rest of the world. Osama's death wont necessarily end anything. There are still followers out there. Obama may have said that they aren't at war with Islam and never will be, but who's to say that they wont retaliate? I heard that they had prepared a strike in case Osama were killed. I know it's not right to think so pessimistically about this, but the world has to be realistic.

We can't give up hope, either. With their leader gone, the war on terror might stop. All that money channelled into the war could be put to better use. People wont be needlessly dying. Terrorism, at least in America and the Middle East, could stop.

There's really no one way to look at it.

So there are my thoughts.
