A rose is a rose is a rose

I know this is a quote from someone, but am not sure whom. This discussion will be bothersome to many, but between thinking people surely must be asked. What does it say about us as a Country, USA when we send a team of assassins to invade another country to kill a person whom we have tried and covicted without a public hearing and when this action is completed, celebrate throughout our nation? Have we made no progress toward our proclaimed goal as a Christian country, you know what I mean, "one Country Under God". Am I the only one shamed by this action? All I know is what has be shouted in the Press for ten years, there is another side of this story, we have not heard. We claim this man was responsible for bood all over the world, yet there is little word of the blood we have let in our crazed need for revenge. Many say this is closure, will any forget who watched the attack on 9/11? No matter what he and his organization has done in their quest. It will not come close to the blood we shed in Iran and Afganistan. At one time I heard the Press slip and state that over 500,000 civilians were wounded and killed in Iran, was this right? or was it even close? I know this is a rant, but I am sick and tired of hearing how heroic our actions have been in our search for revenge. I love my country and the many good things it does around the world but I am not stupid enough to overlook the damage or the special intersts that profit from our less than glorious actions. I'm sure you will let me know your thoughts.
