Don't speak for me. I care.
Everyday I am glad to live in America and to be part of this great nation. Its foundation in freedom and justice is something I truly feel is a birthright of every living thing.
However, it is completely disgusting how we throw it away once we leave our borders. From our disgraceful support of Israel to our blind eye to atrocities in Darfur and now Syria, while we step in to help in Libya (obviously for Libya's oil), is simply against the entire moral foundation we proclaim to others.
Any American should not stand for these types of actions regardless if we feel Bin Laden deserved death or not. Its simply not right. If he was unarmed, he should have been arrested and taken back to US alive to be tried and convicted of his crimes. Then the punishment of death (for murdering thousands) would be justified and we as the supposedly moral nation we are would be giving the world the example in justice we should be providing as a world leader.
