It’s been days now. What more can there be to say about it? It’s inflammatory and insensitive to keep repeating this story.
And how can any civilised person dance in the streets to celebrate the death of someone else?
Last night some uniformed official (perhaps even an educated man) referred to bin Laden as a monster.
There are monstrous sides to us all. To speak of an individual in this way feels reminiscent of the way Hitler would have referred to the Jews.
But we seem to swallow this reporting whole and let it sit in our guts poisoning us.
He had a family. He had parents. Can he not have been a human?
To have footage of the blood-stained room where he died and where his wife was hurt is monstrous. I don’t want to see it. Does anyone?
A short blog because there’s nothing else to say. I hope the news channels will follow suit.
