Hi Maggie, I've been following with interest the discussion on your blog about Bin Laden's death. Justice is a word that makes me cringe these days, especially every time an American utters the word. It is relative to the person using the word, isn't it? There really isn't such a thing as justice. And to gloat and cheer over the death is infantile. The commentator is right: we are playing right into the "terrorists" arms. We are doing exactly what they want us to do: We are bankrupting ourselves in all ways. And what were they thinking to use the code name "Geronimo"? Sometimes I'm just ashamed to live in the U.S.

Thanks, Margie. The word 'justice' is further compromised by the fact that the US and the UK have been involved in creating chaos in Asia and the Middle East for centuries.
