Death of a Parasite

Thank the photographer for this poignant image from Tora Bora

President Bush once aptly described Usama as the "ultimate parasite who saw a weakness and exploited it." Usama's demise has been long overdue. It'll be a while before any of us could properly ascertain the ramifications of the disappearance of a man who has been responsible for so many deaths. And so much misery and torment from N.Y to Tora Bora.

This has been an interesting evening.

And in a moment of unabashed giddiness, I couldn't resist being reminded of all those reports of Usama sightings in Iran over the years-- from the Fox News to the Debkafiles.
