Summary of a day's reflection (aka another bin Laden post)

I needed some time to work out how I felt about a subject that seemed remarkably straightforward for a lot of people. So I took it. I reserve the right to change my mind, as always.

---

I am happy for the victims and responders of 9/11, and their families.

I am happy for Obama, who is finally reaping the benefits of being personally responsible for everything that occurs during the presidency. (instead of just the drawbacks)

I am happy for the Muslim community, who no longer has to worry about this asshole taking over their country or turning their troubled sons and daughters into suicidal killers. (just the other assholes like him)

I am NOT happy for my government, who created him: Osama bin Laden, the CIA-trained killer. (then taking 10 years to kill him)

I am NOT happy for my media who created him again: Osama bin Laden, the Evil Villain and Enemy of America.

I am NOT happy for my country, who even now happily swallows and regurgitates the “heroic narrative” with nary a passing glance… and probably will again.
