How do folks respond when....when evil taunts them
anger, disgust... no? need stronger reaction? how about..... outrage and revulsion.
How about this. How about feeling empty, a void cause by missing lives and damaged communities. What about a hole in your heart that revenge can't fill and a fear that even the defeat of the enemy won't make the world whole, safe or sane.
Moussaoui had what he wanted a stage and audience. Not just any audience he had the courts, the media, the american people, and most painful of all, the victims families. Did he have as big a role as he claimed in the tragedy of September 11th? He used every moment on that stage to convince us he did. He did everything he could, to be hateful, to incite people, and to glorified his fellow murderers. Zacharias Moussaoui tried to be everything he wasn't in life...a big, important man (serving a fear-ridden ideology).
He failed, failed miserably, no matyrdom no countdown to the execution with newscycles dominated by last appeals, last meals and last words. With the stagelights turned off and the audience beginning to drift away the 20th hijacker will be left cold, empty and alone. No one around to hurt.
Someday he might realize that while he gave America nothing but his worst. This nation gave him nothing but its best. In the brave, promising lives he conspired to take and in the fair, deliberate justice he got.
