The world is getting smaller and smaller as we communicate with people all over the world and obviously some of these connections result in good news.
At first I thought it was a joke when I heard that bin Laden was dead. After all, look how long it took us to find him; as if we had to search Mars and Pluto too; which we did, but for other reasons, we were told.
Although, with global communication coming together, including satellite observation, enabling our governmental agencies to succeed in finding bin Laden; what's up with the 3 high level Pakistani military compounds, include an academy, located within a few miles of bin Laden's house.
Why are we giving Pakistan billions of " our tax dollars?"
Right now, I am imagining all those suicide bombers beating the crap out of bin Laden because they couldn't find those 72 virgins in Hell.
Kudos to the Navy Seals who perfected their mission to the last bullet through his head, without hesitation. Never mind: I can't shoot a woman who is used as a shield.
What makes the Navy Seal's action so heroic is the perfection; unlike those clumsy action packed Hollywood movies we sit through.
If only our government can be as perfect managing the budget.
After joining AOL's Huffington Post's website, this week; where millions of participates comment on different topics of the day, I have stepped up my connection in the world.
This week alone, I have received a hundred plus comments from members, via my E-mail
(upon my request). Some become my fans; as I become their fans. It's an inspiring dialogue of exchanged ideas and information on the most pressing topics of the day; that is, if you become a fan of someone who is civil and like-minded. You really do have to stay away from serial killers.
Yesterday on Huffington, I followed a member who sited the following article:
The assault force of Navy SEALs snatched a trove of computer drives and disks during their weekend raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound, yielding what a U.S. official called “the mother lode of intelligence.” The special operations forces grabbed personal computers, thumb drives and electronic equipment during the lightning raid that killed bin Laden, officials told POLITICO. “They cleaned it out,” one official said. “Can you imagine what’s on Osama bin Laden’s hard drive?”
“Imagine if you were an Al Queda sleeper agent enjoying your night in wherever and you saw this on CNN. Just imagine the panic and the quick destruction of documents and the use of escape plans. And now today, every unit linked to bin Laden must assume they are compromised. They will not know when a black helicopter will arrive over their little abode and snatch them up into the night.
Just the terror inflicted on these animals should add to the joy of eliminating one more murderer from the earth.”
I feel there are some insightful people exchanging thoughts on the Internet; and joining with them will only add strength in number to the cause; whatever it is or will be.
By putting ourselves out there in the world of communication; the world becomes a little smaller for some of us. While the world diminishes in size through communication; our ideas or actions expand to others, living thousands of miles away; bringing us closer together, in thought; or tearing us apart. Whichever way it will be; it will come as
rapid fire communication.
Keeping in mind that new terrorist groups; such as, in Yemen, are just as deadly as bin Laden was at one time.
Keeping in mind that after paying Pakistan to be our friend; we, obviously, need greater communication skills or just more fire power against countries who double deal.
No wonder the Pakistani didn't want us in their country to try to find bin Laden. No wonder bin Laden was housed in a protected Pakistani military area, most likely forbidden to American soldiers.
The proverb: keep your friends close, and your enemies closer if only to ensure they are not up to mischief.
This really means that the Pakistani's were considered "close friends," not "enemies" whom we should have been keeping a 'closer' eye on because they were our enemy, all along.

However, this week it brought some of us closer together in a good way; if only to find a needle ( bin Laden) in a haystack (Pakistan) and to determine who are really our friends.
