Somehow this seems all the more poignant, I live in a small town and one of the owners of a local restaurant lost his son last week in Afgahanistan. A 19 yr old Marine was killed by a terrorist road side bomb. 19 is just way too young. My heart hurts for his parents, I know the dad and he is a very gentle person and I imagine his son was too.

I know I should not be happy that Bin Laden is dead because he was a human being, but I am anyway. He was probably the most hated person in the world in the last 50 years.
