I don't really have anything new to contribute to the media babble surrounding the fall of Bin Laden, but I feel it's necessary to mark the date somehow. With that, here's some recommended reading from a fellow blogger, who saved me the trouble of writing out a post by expressing exactly how I felt today, and more eloquently than I probably would have managed:

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that”
