Still, as a citizen of the US, I feel just a little dirtier than I did before, as much for the action taken in my name as for the obscene celebrations which followed. It's a stain which no amount of water can cleanse, I'm afraid.


Well as an American citizen Myself, I will lose no sleep at all over the death of that guy. I feel clean. I feel happy. I am not going to make excuses for the death of that asshat or the celebrations that followed.

As I said Damn right, I'm a Damn Yankee, and Damn proud of it. I was proud to be an American before 9/11. I am still proud to be an American. Perhaps even more proud today.

Is it over? Hell no. it may never be over. Still I rejoice, and not ashamed at all.
