Reply #11: I had a sudden bout of Guilt... To celebrate a killing is not a Buddhist way..

[AsahinaKimi]

While I am happy a chapter to American History has come to an end, I could not see myself dancing in the streets. I am after all a Buddhist, where the killing of anything is basically wrong. People are celebrating the killing of an "evil man" and he may have been.. and I am having major inner conflicts right now.. I am thinking, perhaps I would have felt better if they caught him alive and brought him to Trial... But thats not how it went down.

I would appreciate any thoughts from other Buddhists, (Since the Religous forum is closed) about their thoughts.. Because I am feeling a bit conflicted inside right now.
