| "I've never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure." ~ Clarence Darrow |
Being as it is prolly the biggest news story so far this decade (after the Royal Wedding and Balloon Boy), I suppose I must at least make passing mention of the recent double-tapping of Osama Bin Laden. Can't say as I don't approve. And Obama got him! HA! It is a good day for America, not because of revenge but because of closure. 9/11 is over, now. Terrorism, problems in the Middle East region, these things all persist but we have finally put paid to the animals who killed all those people for no good reason. Do you remember how you felt that day? I think what just about everyone wanted most was justice. That the perpetrators be caught and punished for those terrible crimes. Well, America, it's finally happened, so we can put this thing to rest finally, and the tenth anniversary need not be as solemn an occasion as the previous nine. Then, perhaps, we can move on as a nation and a society instead of having our entire culture and geopolitical strategy dominated by what happened on a single day almost ten years ago. Perhaps our collective rage and grief can now subside into acceptance and a sincere desire to move on with our lives.
