America F**K Yeah!

So nearly ten years after planes were hijacked and flown into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon the individual who has been held accountable for planning the destruction has been hunted down and filled by United States Navy SEALS bringing the situation not to an end but to the turn of the page to a new chapter. While hundreds of Americans celebrated in front of the White House and millions more around the country waved their miniature American flags and pumped their fists to the chants of "USA, USA, USA" or sang the national anthem others were already feeling ulcers expecting a new attack from  Al-Qaida.
What does it mean? Is it any different than the cold war ending, or the defeat of the Axis in World War II? There will always be an enemy. There will be allies who turn against us or we turn against us, there will be disenfranchised individuals who need to blame somebody else for their dissatisfaction. I can't say the U.S. doesn't make a good target of ire for we have a way of getting into everybody's business in an attempt to help our selves to their resources (Oil) but that's really only because we can. If Macedonia or Jamaica or Costa Rica had the might, they would probably be just as reviled by those without an easy future.

In a fantastic, perfect world were good and evil was black and white, the assassination of Osama Bin Laden would have been accomplished by Captain America and there would be no more guerrilla warfare or acts of terror if you will on innocent people but there are always new people who crave power or see things so differently it drives them to extreme acts.

This death doesn't solve everything nor does it doesn't rekindle anything but it sure does make a lot of people happy. Is happy the right word?
