Osama bin Laden

Most of us in America have gladly received the news of this man's death.  Much of the world sees him as a hero but those closely alied to the West see him as a tyrant.....I would like to say something concerning this man as to the way I see him and his demise. 
Osama bin Laden is the by-product of really bad U.S. policy's. He is a casualty of those failed and uncalculated policy's.  Chavez of Venezeula is another man caught in the web of badly botched U.S. policy. Cambodia is an example of a sovereign country that got caught in the vaccuum of failed American policies.  The list really goes on and on and on.  Our government has failed in its leadership and foreign policies and today many existing leaders and emerging future leaders are now afraid to embrace American policies because they are so unstable.  That being said, I want to focus these next few lines on the death of the world's most recognised terrorist.......Osama bin Laden.
First, I applaud our Armed Forces...they are always so spectacular, whether it's as visible as OBL or any of our troops doing their everyday work on a base in planet earth ...they all in some way contribute to US success.
Secondly, I do not look at Osama bin Laden's death as something in the form of revenge.  This man was a murderer. Worse than that, he would kill women, children, elderly or the young in the prime of life, with no remorse. I am not happy that Osama is dead in the sense of a person being killed or shot to death.  I don't think as a Christian I am thrilled about anyone being killed.  It is a sad thing whether it is a terrorist, a public enemy number one, or a person gone berserk who the police have to take down to defend the public; it is a sad thing that someone has to extinguish that persons' life.  GOD HAD MUCH MORE FOR THAT PERSON.  They were not, nor ever meant to be, the resting place for a piece of lead. 
Please do not include me in those who cry for revenge.  I simply wish to see justice, and justice only, to be served.  Osama was a man on the run, not because the U.S. was looking for revenge, because if that was the case then those who love Osama will be ready to get their piece of revenge to feel justified.  No the U.S.A. was simply carrying out the fulfilling of justice.  This individual committed crimes against Muslims, Americans, and the brainwashed "minds" of men destroyed before their bodies meant their end.  The U.S. simply executed a warrant against this man for crimes. Legitimate crimes against human kind.  With his death it is over.  There is nothing more that anybody should do.  The crimes' punishment has been fulfilled. Justice has been served, it is finished.  Anything more is revenge and another crime and that person or government committing it should be held responsible for that occurance as a separate offense, and that offense will bear its own punishment.  Justice completes and closes out a crime, that is called satisfied justice. Revenge is evil, and selfishly continues a crime with an illegal and unsatisfiable perpetuity.  It just goes on and on. The World doesn't need that.
 It is a shame that Osama's death has so polarized the world. His death can do nothing for them or us. Yet in the spiritual darkness of the world, Christ died for all mankind to wash away their sins and remove the reproach off of their lives. Yet many in the world still do not know what Christ has done for them.
It is time to put away the guns and send missionaries...let's start conquering hearts instead of nations.  The British did it and it worked....the sun never went down on the British Empire....They sent missionaries through the London Missionary Society.  Read about Tahiti...no guns, just the mouth of a missionary and the whole murderous island and later all the surrounding islands came to peace!
