The events that have unfolded in the last twenty-four hours have cast a horrible light on us as a civilisation.
I am just sad. Not for him, but for the world.
We have reduced ourselves to the masses, baying for blood. Like the Romans at the Colosseum, cheering the burning Catholics.
He was a psychopath, and he earned the consequences of the life he lead. But what have WE lost in this war on terror and what does it mean that we call killing someone an "achievement". How did we lose our way so badly?
Insetad of celebrating, could we not just acknowledge the chance for the wounded to heal and turn the page? Show our dignity instead of our barbarism?
The whole thing plays out as a tragedy to me. And everyone loses.
