R. I. D. Bin Laden
By Wink
The world is a better place. Not at peace, but better than it was.
Osama Bin Laden is dead.
His demise does not rid us of terrorists. Splinter cells long ago began setting up around the world, and most did not take orders from Bin Laden.
Further, there are many types of terrorists, not just Islamic terrorists. There are religious terrorists, political terrorists, eco-terrorists, etc.
So no, we are not at peace. We will never be free from zealots who feel compelled to express their displeasure by killing innocent people.
Regardless…. Today, we celebrate. Osama Bin Laden is dead.
For Osama, I say ‘R.I.D.’ The “D” would stand for eternal discomfort or distress. You can probably think of a better ‘D.’ Feel free to suggest one…
(Long ago, a comic suggested that, for people of Bin Laden’s ilk, the correct phrase would be ‘rest in pieces,’ but I digress.)
We are all better off for being RID of Bin Laden.
“R.I.P.” should be reserved for someone who should rest in ‘peace.’ Like the victims of the many horrific attacks ordered/orchestrated by Bin laden.
The murdered, and their families, deserve peace.
