I think there are a lot of questions. But, having had a few days to think about it, for some reason it feels like we got back a little bit of "normal" around here. I can't quite explain it. But the whole thing, dramatic helicopter raid, brutal killing, pictures of the situation room, wreath laying, just feels like the right type of ending..... New York, and Washington, and by extension the whole country got back a little bit of something we lost on 9-11.
I grew up in sight of the Twin Towers, most people don't realize it but they were visible in many places for miles. They were like the mountains. Part of the landscape. You saw them every day. I had been in them many times. They stood for something, although we didn't really think about it. They just were. When the towers fell, and all those people died, to me ( and many other people) it felt like a family member murdered. Like normal life had ended.
I don't know what exactly this feels like now -normalcy maybe. Revenge. Closure. Justice. But it feels pretty good.
