In front of the White House and at Ground "0" in New York, crowds gathered in jubilation and celebration of the fact that after ten years and two presidencies the most reviled man in Western American history was dead. To the victor goes the spoils and according to Winston Churchill, "history is written by the victors. But in the joy and ebullience of the vanquishment of this iconic figure, Americans must remember to guard against the promises of "war.........as it makes the victor stupid and the vanquished revengeful." ~ Frederick Nietzsche.
