Back in school days, the night before May 2nd would be filled with a bit of anxiety and a bit of excitement. This was the day the final verdict - pass or fail - of the final exam used to get published on the school notice board. When I started working, May 1st became the day to cheer - The Labour day - with funny messages targeted at the tragedy of appreciation and appraisal at work. Now, in USA, the labour day is "celebrated" on first Monday of September.
That said, it should have been just another day, but it turned out many won't forget this day. Last night President Obama announced the "Death of Osama Bin Laden". Bin Laden was killed in a US military raid at his Mansion in Abbottabad last night. I wonder what difference would it have made if he was caught alive. Quite coincidently Hitler was also confirmed dead 66 years ago the same day.
As I read elsewhere : "Osama bin Laden's legacy lives on with every traveler being herded through body scanners, with every illegal search in our 120-mile-radius Constitution-free zones, and with every warrantless wiretap. Until his legacy dies, he lives on, as strong as ever".
