I’m glad you posted this Dark Dreams. I was feeling a bit… underwhelmed when it came on the news. My initial reaction was: So… And… I expected more. There was a Hitler reference earlier. When Hitler was defeated there was an immediate change to Germany and the world. This is all so anti-climatic.

September 11 has changed our lives. I don’t know how the death of Bin Laden changes that in any way shape or form. I don’t know how anyone would feel safer today than they did yesterday. We have been forced to face a reality that prior to 9/11 did not openly exist in this country. The execution of one terrorist does not change my reality. I was aware of terrorism of course, but felt stupidly isolated from it. My children do not have that luxury. Part of Osama’s genius is that he created a system to outlive himself or any single individual. I find that scary as hell.

Although I confess that I would have danced a jig in the streets if this would have happened September 15, 2001 it would have given me a false sense of justice and control. To be honest in my opinion the best thing about this situation in my opinion is that it was the Seals that were the ones responsible for his death. Osama WAS responsible for terrorist attacks on the Navy.

I think it is silly to think any of us could actually feel his death solves anything other than one less evil mastermind in the world.
