President Obama just addressed the world via the White House to announce the killing of Osama bin Laden by a small US military force in Pakistan.My reaction was visceral, and surprising, at least to myself. Using wi-fi at the St Kilda library I caught a posting on Facebook by a friend in NYC that read 'We got Osama'. Ba-Boom. Tore through the internet for details. Palms sweaty, heart racing, I logged onto the White House website and awaited the president's address while Facebook went berserk with jubilation. Finally, this:
Nothing partisan. An intelligent man sharing news that a majority of US citizens have yearned to hear since that terrible day in 2001.
Today was the day. A damn fine day.
