Today is a holiday in my autonomous community, and in half of Spain. The day is gray and dreary. The radio gives the first hour of the morning will no doubt be the news of the day: Bin Laden is dead. Unanimity in radios and newspapers in the headline. Curious, indeed. Because this bloody deceased has not given him a heart attack or stroke, or have fallen into a brick or hit by a bus. Ergo no "is dead." He was killed, which is something very different. Media reported that a command U.S. navy seals, in collaboration with personnel from the CIA, has slipped into a house-bunker Abbottabad, Pakistan where people lived in the subject and, following an alleged shooting, ended with the king of Islamic terrorism.
I can not say I grieve the death of this individual, but neither is it to get away from home and take to the streets of Washington and New York, in a vengeful frenzy and outrageous, as does the public see the state that calls itself beacon of freedom in the world. Recall that in London and Madrid as there was suffered the blow of the terror of Al Qaeda, and see the difference does not appear, or at least until the time of writing this post nor have I read or what I heard, that London or Madrid have gone to the streets and respective "zero zone" of their cities to celebrate the death of the barbarian. Public response thus much more mature and, if I may-democratic than they are showing "American cousins." If someone is gloat over the case, which all are in the vineyard, will be doing it properly: in private. Or maybe is that Madrid are celebrating the May 2 and is also party, and people are not going to cry for atrocities, and that in London still have not recovered from the royal wedding. I do not know.
also surprised the owner has offered Mr. Obama, when he declared that "justice has been done." Really? When? Where? By whom? Now that a command in the evening, a betrayal, and I shot something called justice? What is the difference between the action they have committed the seals and the madman who planted the bomb last week in Fna Square in Marrakech? Because I do not see any. Or at least I do not see many. I think he's been unfortunate that gentleman Obama saying this. Should have said that who makes the United States, pay, or that revenge has been accomplished. It would have been much better adapted to reality. Even understandable. But do not say that's fair. Because justice does not make Mr. Obama, nor his defense secretary, or the CIA, not a special forces command, justice is done by the courts after the defendant a fair trial, during which he has enjoyed all the guarantees that the rule of law gives. Just these little details are what differentiate us vaunted Western democratic societies we want to be, the barbarians of the Kalashnikov in one hand and the Koran in the other. I would have preferred that the Israelites had done as with Eichman in 1960, should have caught Bin Laden, have led to EE. UU. and have made available to the courts, guaranteeing a fair trial. The result would have been the same: death and summarily sentenced to execution by lethal injection but with one huge difference: it would have legally and insist on showing it, "we are not with them. Nobody should be surprised now that this powder is now thrown from the White House, bring sludge in the form of attacks within a few months. I hope I'm wrong. In the end, our black guarantor of the "legality in all its forms" and "will close Guantanamo," we are decaffeinated enough. Poor man. Although I think I can safely assure a rise in his popularity among the population that recently went pretty battered and low minimum. What.
PS: at about noon, the press began to change their holders. Now "States U.S. kills Bin Laden. "It's about time.
