World Affairs In 2011

Hello World:
Very quickly before I start talking about what happened to Bin Laden several months back, I want to mention that I had to make some edits in last week's post titled, "Analysis Of The Most Racist Country". I needed to make sure I had the Netherlands in the right paragraph. Also, I made some clarifications on what I said said about a closed society for God.

I further explain, that such a society is not totally closed, but should be closed to wickedness and unrighteousness; and that a stranger, who has a sincere heart to repent of their sins, come to Jesus and conform to the ways of God, can have access to that Godly society. I was then led by God to add the scripture from Revelation Chapter 21: Verse 27. So, I ask that people please go back and look at that when they can.

Now, I want to re-visit and make some comments, here, about the Osama Bin Laden raid that happened earlier in this 2011 year. In the next post, I want to say more about Libya and Gaddafi, I will be discussing Iran, other countries and a little more concerning the nuclear disaster in Japan in upcoming posts.

I few months back I talked briefly about Bin Laden being killed a few days after it happened. I mentioned that it was a good thing, and that I am glad he was killed for various reasons. With that said however, I need to say more about that raid by the United States military.

On one hand I can see that it is good and a relief that Bin Laden was killed. However, on the other hand. Seeing how the operation went down, with Bin Laden being unarmed, and not really putting up a fight, it seem as though he could have been captured. In many ways, it is his fault. Did he deserve to get killed? Again, YES! Should he have been killed then, in that setting, I am NOT so sure I would agree with that.

Another thing, it did not necessarily have to be the United States military or U.S. special forces who went in to get Bin Laden. It could have been anybody, from any country. Even though I am glad he was killed, I am not hailing the United States or its' military special forces as heroes. I am just not a big fan of going in or sneaking in and killing someone in their pajamas or sleep wear.

I believe in facing a person man to man, soldier to soldier; not me, necessarily, having all the weapons and the other person is getting out of bed with his wife and children. I would prefer to fight the enemy when the enemy is at his best or at full strength. I know that kind of business can be dirty, but killing him in that setting was really dirty. There was nothing really tough, brave or warrioristic about that operation.

One would think that Bin Laden, the most wanted criminal in the world, would have had better protection day and night than what he had. I know several things about U.S. special forces, and other special forces. I know some of how they operate, how they move like cats, very quiet; how they camouflage or blend in, how they use diversions and distractions, the way they use sound, night vision, stun grenades, etc, etc.

I can do some of the things they do. They are highly trained and highly skilled. I have some training myself, but will not reveal from where or how I got it. I also have a military mind; so I kind of think, like the way they are trained to think, on a daily basis. However, the thing with the Bin Laden raid is this, no matter how good those special forces are, they still bleed and they have to breathe. They are not superhuman nor immortal.

Had Bin Laden had serious security with numerous armed everything, those special forces would have been spotted, and spotted easily and killed very easily. The spies who were watching the courier for months would have been spotted a long time ago. What we saw is Bin Laden and his courier not being smart, not being alert and not being well protected.

Another very important thing, about this story I want to point out to everybody, is that what those U.S. special forces did to Bin Laden, they could do to almost anybody in many places in the world. If someone lie on you, and you are listed as a suspicious person or possible terrorist, the possibility is there that they could monitor you, and show up at your door and raid you and possibly kill you based upon someone's lies.

They can raid a lot of people and get away with it or go unchecked by any authority or the laws, because they can disappear back into the masses of society, and the United States government or other governments can deny everything. So, one evil person was killed, but every decent person, living, better to take notes that it could have been them. It could be any of us.
