NYR 5-5-11 - welcome to my soapbox

I have struggled with the celebrations that have been going on since bin Laden's death. Do I believe he was owed justice? Yes. Do I believe he got it? Yes. Do I need to celebrate and gloat over a person's execution? No way. But I know from reading Facebook posts and newspapers, I am in the minority on this issue. So I've kept my mouth shut and just haven't commented on anybody's posts.

This morning in the online edition of Charleston's Post and Courier newspaper, I read this article that hit the nail on the head for me.

For this writer having the ability to speak for me, I am truly thankful.

Thus endeth the soapbox lecture. Thank you.
