Osama Bin Laden defined the first decade of the 21st Century

[lunatica]

Instead of promising horizons and forward movement and enlightenment befitting the next step in our evolution in the new century a handful of people, led by Osama Bin Laden turned it into a re-do of the Dark Ages. The decade became a religious war leaving gaping ruin in every corner of the planet. Bush and Cheney were the perfect instruments of destruction in their blood lust to go after the oil in the Middle East by wantonly using the terror tactics of Osama Bin Laden as the excuse to erode our rights and to treat us like the enemy and to spread a destructive empire of aggression.

It's been a sad start to the century. I wonder if it's even possible that it could have been much worse. There's plenty of reason to grieve.
