firefly124Fluffy post-con post later. For now, I need to process a little of this morning's news.
I have really mixed feelings about the announcement that we've apparently killed Osama bin Laden. It's probably a good thing he's gone. However, it's not like nobody else is going to step into his shoes, and we've likely just created a martyr and a rallying point for escalations
I never saw no military solution
That didn't always end up as something worse.
Not sure that's 100% true, but I do agree with the overall sentiment. Violence begets violence. The fact that all the terror alerts have been upped today says that TPTB realize this.
I don't know what the answer is, but I'm pretty sure this wasn't it.
