If there's one thing I can't stand about some liberals, it's the unrelenting victim mentality.

[Bicoastal]

We lost 3,000 citizens at the hands of al Qaeda on 9/11, but we can't feel good about eliminating their leader because:

a) feeling good somehow means we don't care about bad things that are happening or have already happened, so we can't ever really feel good about anything

b) we had to kill him, and that makes us the bad guys for some reason, even though he trained people to kill Americans in the most destructive way possible and was shooting directly at us at the time of his capture

c) this might possibly change the narrative that America is in a irreversible decline, which we can repeat over and over again until everyone is too depressed to get out of bed in the morning while taking very few steps to try and change anything because why even bother if we're all doooooooooomed

There's being compassionate, and then there's just flagellating yourself for no reason--other than the opportunity to point out the scars on your back to anyone you catch acting happy.
