A “Historical Moment.”
I, as everyone else, remember exactly where I was when I first heard the news of 9/11. And I have often wondered why, with all the full might and intelligence of our military, that we had yet to locate Osama bin Laden.
But now, we have. I’m sure we’ll learn more in the coming days of the search, operation, and killing of bin Laden. For now, we can be grateful that justice has been done, and without the loss of additional American lives.
Update:
I predict that it won’t be long before someone in the news media attempts to draw a parallel between the celebration outside the White House at the death of Osama bin Laden with the celebrations throughout the middle east on 9/11. They will conveniently forget to mention that in the case of the earlier, it was a celebration of the loss of innocent life, and in the case of tonight, it is a celebration of justice (however poor in taste some of the celebrations may have been).
