Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."
- Martin Luther King, Jr., quote from his 1967 book Where Do We Go From Here?
While I do think bin Laden's death was just, I don't feel it's something to celebrate. I'm a little surprised by how much of an impact the news of his death made not just on the country but on myself and in some ways the various reactions have been more interesting than the news.
