... is hopefully over now. I remember watching the twin towers tumble down in the Meghdoot Hostel Common room. It was the most horrible thing I had ever seen on TV. And 9/11 shaped most of my adult life. Finding a job, moving here to the US.
I have never flown on a plane as an adult without that Orange Alert Security. Never known a world without DHS and its forms. Without the "... are you a terrorist" question . Or the SEVIS reporting structure. Or almost felt criminal when producing paperwork for every government document here and elsewhere.
I hope the news of Osama Bin Laden dead changes the world for the better as his heinous acts did for the worse.
And I am so glad my favorite world leader brought the world this news.
This is one of those moments that is defining in world history. And the feeling of relief for being on the side of the good guys, the non-terrorists is very palpable.
