I did not cheer and celebrate the death of Bin laden, I accepted that his death was a requirement to limit further bloodshed, a required act of evil to stop further, greater evil.
I'll grant you I spontaneously yelled when I heard the announcement that Bin Laden was dead, but it's not like I got pleasure from it. When I hear that Texas has executed another scumbag, I may think, "justice done," I'm not getting pleasure from it.

I also know the kind of scars you get on your soul when you kill someone, even when you know it was the right thing to do. A member of SEAL Team 6 or a state executioner probably has a soul that is filled with those scars. To them, well done, you're braver than I.

Cool

At least he didn't tell you about his stilettos, hair, troweled on makeup and that slinky little dress he's wearing....

And all with three day old stubble....



...poking through his stockings.

I think about the guy I didn't kill. I'm sure I mentioned the incident in "Adagio for Strings". It's easy enough to press the trigger, it turns out. But a guy I could have killed saw his mom again because I didn't press the trigger, despite having all the wrong reasons for doing so. Whatever else happens, I'm not a mindless thug. I sleep a bit better knowing that.

If that image bouncing around in my head [expletive deleted] up my Saturday night with the missus, you sir will be getting a candygram of mega sour pusses.
