Osama binLadin was killed in a firefight last night.
Before you rejoice, consider this: Early reports have him participating in the firefight, and that is one of the qualifications for Islamic Martyrdom. Did we kill a bad guy, or create a transcendent being? Our gloating, rejoicing and celebration further his cause. Almost nothing good ever comes from killing people. I am sure we tried to capture him, and I am sad that we failed. A public trial would probably have been better.
I am glad he is dead, but I hope we have not created and enshrined a new hero.

Rage, confusion, love and hope, in order of prevalence. And some bad poems.
