Last night it was announced that Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden was assassinated (he doesn't deserve the word assassinated). In all honesty as I watched the news channels report his death ...I felt neither happy nor sad. With every fiber of my being, I wished to feel the sense of justice that 9/11 victims and their families feel. I want to rejoice. I want to climb up on a light pole and chant U S A! and sing every song dedicated to the U.S. at the top of my lungs but instead I feel an overwhelming sense of ...NOTHINGNESS (and I can't even FAKE otherwise)....I feel like a poor excuse for a citizen.
Maybe it's out of fear that this is only the beginning. Perhaps in the back of my mind I feel like terrorism isn't over and people will always want to plot harm against the greatest nation on Earth.
Let's see if sleeping will invoke some feeling about it.
