How many times has history shown that bad behavior yields punishment, retaliation, vendettas?
It always disgusts Me to observe "typical," American behavior of bullying, berating, back-stabbing, and belligerence that makes the world hate Us. People are parading through the streets due to the assasination of Osama Bin Laden while the world watches and twitter keeps showing the fail whale. They give fuel to fires of hatred that bring Us misery and they have not learned that such arrogance is the root of so many of Our problems at home (e.g., Wall Street thievery going unpunished and unapologized for) and abroad.
This behavior lacks honor by eliminating the opportunity to have dignity in the defeat of this enemy.
Truly great individuals take comfort in vindication without the need to ostentatiously stoop to the lowest levels of expression.
If one is truly great, one does not need to gloat or goad. Doing so disrespects the honor of the memories of those who died at the hands of Our enemies and We are no better than the worst of Our offenders.
