What a week and it's only Monday

As I was playing EQ2 on Sunday night, someone shouted out over the chat lines that Osama Bin Laden was dead.  I quickly googles this and saw it was true.  I was glued to my TV and Twitter account.  Holy crap.. the bastard was dead.  Shot in the head while hiding behind two women.  Yup, that's a leader to be proud of.  I am glad the American people (and the families of anyone who has lost someone because of this nut job) has justice, but my fear is... is he now a Martyr?  The people who follow him will now be even more enraged and have more hatred towards the American People.  This worries me as I have American friends and travel several times a year to the US to visit friends there. 

I thought Obama's speech was great, brought a tear to this Canuk.  I remember clearly 9-11 ... scrabbling for hours trying to get in touch with a friend who worked near the Pentagon.. getting evacuated from my building as it was an Oil and Gas company in a big companies building... No one knew what was happening, seeing the footage of people jumping from the towers.  It was awful.  I am glad he gone from this world now, I just wish his death wasn't so swift, those people in the towers and planes suffered, some for hours...
