He made 'us', as a nation, fear him. He made 'us', as a nation, hate him. And ultimately, he made 'us', as a nation, murder him.

Or in the immortal words of Oliver Hardy, "Now look what you made me do!"

And he believed that the US made him do what he did. Vendettas only stop when people take responsibility for their own actions.

I'm a big proponent of being responsible for my own actions. Fortunately, I wasn't there to pull the trigger, or even to decide that the trigger needed to be pulled. I wasn't consulted by the political or military leaders of this country about how this whole thing should be handled. I am not personally responsible.

Still, as a citizen of the US, I feel just a little dirtier than I did before, as much for the action taken in my name as for the obscene celebrations which followed. It's a stain which no amount of water can cleanse, I'm afraid.

Well as an American citizen Myself, I will lose no sleep at all over the death of that guy. I feel clean. I feel happy. I am not going to make excuses for the death of that asshat or the celebrations that followed.

As I said Damn right, I'm a Damn Yankee, and Damn proud of it. I was proud to be an American before 9/11. I am still proud to be an American. Perhaps even more proud today.

Is it over? Hell no. it may never be over. Still I rejoice, and not ashamed at all.
