Not sure what to feel...

Osama Bin Laden is dead.

I remember reading a piece (I think by Peggy Noonan) that we'd hear that he was dead, and we'd stop and cry.

That was well over eight years ago.

I'm not crying.  But I do remember being fourteen, my mom telling me that her sister had called her and told her about the attack, and being sick and numb.

I'm not sick, but I am feeling very serious and sad and yet not a little relieved.

I don't think this makes me too much safer.  But it is important.
