becoming monsters

The announcement came not with somber relief but unbridled euphoria. An exuberant celebration is more likely seen on video footage of foreigners who cheer an attack on us. We are becoming what we hate and celebrating bloodshed as easily as those who wish it upon us. Our moral demise begins when killing is no longer a necessary evil but a euphoric even heralded by all. When all we do is scream “USA USA USA” at the new of more killing we have lost all sadness and inadvertently let the monsters win.
