Nothing We Can't Do...?

"Today we are reminded that as a nation there is nothing we can't do..." as he hailed the pride of those who broke out in overnight celebrations as word spread around the globe.

-- President Obama said of the news of the killing Osama Bin Laden

Really? Sounds a bit like our last President, too, and frankly many before that. What do our leaders trust in...our military, our effort...ourselves? And, we the people, seem to just drink it in, especially when the bad guy 'over there' meets a demise suitable to us.  God save us (literally) from this kind of thinking.  We need to drink a little more from this glass:

   When your enemy falls, do not rejoice;
   when he stumbles do not let your heart exult.
   Lest Yahweh see and (it be) bad in his eyes
   and he turn his wrath away from him.

   -- Prov. 24:17-18

...more of the damage of such things here.  Thanks, Jim, for forwarding.
