Osama bin Laden: our gift from God

Op Ed News by Mark Goldman | May. 6, 2011 (Opinion)

Osama bin Laden was a gift from God to all of us for which many of us have yet to express our thankfulness.

Our first reaction was to attack a country that had no connection to the 911 attack. As an occupying force our responsibility was to protect the lives, wealth and well-being of Iraqi citizens and to preserve their heritage and the many good things they enjoyed in life. Instead we did exactly the opposite of that, showing an almost total disregard for their lives, their heritage, their future, or their posterity. In fact we committed great atrocities, including awful war crimes against hundreds of thousands, in fact millions of innocent men, women and children.
