Revenge

.
Maureen Dowd column in the May 7, 2011 NY Times was good in that it jumped on the inclination of some to find moral equivalence in our killing bin Laden and his killing on 9-11. That's good.

But she opened her piece with: I don’t want closure. There is no closure after tragedy. I want memory, and justice, and revenge.

Well I don't really see the point in revenge.

I would say, and I bet Obama would agree:

If I could eliminate terrorism by killing all of the terrorists, I would do it.
If I could eliminate terrorism by killing none of the terrorists, I would do it.
If I could eliminate terrorism by killing some of the terrorists and leaving others alone, I would do it.

(Thank you, Abraham Lincoln.)
