>>Oddly enough, the Navy Seals and others involved in the mission seem increasingly at odds over how it happened. First it was one guy who did it in one room, then it was a different guy. It's like Clue. It doesn't really matter to me who killed him where. The mission was a success. Although I am a pacifist, relatively speaking, one belief remains firm: you attack the U.S., you die.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
