Should no one have acted to end his reign of terror? Should no one have acted to stop Hitler? I do not rejoice in the death of any man.

I spoke today to someone with a ministry to Muslims. He said that by making him a martyr in that way, a hundred Bin Ladens will spring up to take his place.
Lord, have mercy!

We too felt much disquiet over these events and over the word 'rejoice' which was repeatedly used in news reports covering American reactions.We discussed it with American friends yesterday and agree the world is certainly not a safer place now. This tasted like vengance to me. Bin Laden now stands before God – let Him pass judgement.
