Hell, the Soviet Union was briefly the Evil Empire to Reagan and he hardly started the habit of throwing around the label.<br /><br />I'm of the opinion that those who dehumanize first lose their humanity, and so it's okay to kill them mercilessly. But who dehumanized who first? It gets messy when we can't quite say who is the bad guy and who is the good guy. That said, it sickens me when I see people try to pretend that 9/11 was justified or that somehow the wrongs of the US balance it out.Klepsacovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915576683657376929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-83507491906139235022011-05-02T20:16:21.545-05:002011-05-02T20:16:21.545-05:00Did anyone else notice back when this whole kerfuf...Did anyone else notice back when this whole kerfuffle began in 2001 that politicians suddenly started using the word "evil" completely unironically to describe people whose beliefs conflicted with their own?<br /><br />I don't doubt that the world is a better place without this man, but [as Nils said above] I can't bring myself to celebrate the death of a human, and it disturbs me that we as a society appear so willing to do so. It's kind of like when someone you've known for long time suddenly lets slip a racial slur. You can't look at them the same way afterwards.Coreushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10258450322199352185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-47196808940742423092011-05-02T16:34:29.465-05:002011-05-02T16:34:29.465-05:00He is gone, although I don't feel like celebra...He is gone, although I don't feel like celebrating...It feels a little bit better. He proclaimed credit for an action that took thousands of American lives then we embarked on a war that has since cost trillions of dollars, more human lives and now we are broke...Yea I feel a little better(emphasis on little).<br /><br />All the credit of course goes to my brothers in arms. Seals are some bad mother fuckers. Is there any chance of them spliting the $50million reward money?<br /><br />Now cleaning our mess and getting out of there should be first priority.JoeNavynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-2422181195338830052011-05-02T12:28:29.749-05:002011-05-02T12:28:29.749-05:00@Dallanna: If we're lucky there will be a sign...@Dallanna: If we're lucky there will be a significant amount of infighting.<br /><br />@Nils: Exactly, not a human.

But then, Osmana wasn't really human anymore.

However, considering how well entrenched those guys are and how well they've learned their craft, there'll be another one once the power vacuum in Osama's wake fills up.Christian Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18068934931436282967noreply@blogger.com
