What To Say?

Last night after putting the boys to bed I logged onto Andrew Sullivan's blog The Dish and saw he was live blogging something. I surfed around and found out that Osama Bin Laden had been killed by American Special Operations Forces. I called out to Jana and told her the news. We turned on the TV, found Brian Williams on NBC, and watched the President's address and the resultant celebrations at the White House and Ground Zero in NY.

What to say?

Actually, I really don't want to say anything. That's why I haven't posted about this until now. And I'm posting now simply to announce that I don't have anything to say. Well, more precisely, I have a lot to say, but it's all jumbled up inside of me. I have my psychological reactions, my theological reactions, my American reactions, my Christian reactions, my pacifist reactions, my just war reactions, my Yoderian reactions, my Niebuhrian reactions, and on and on and on...

I have too much to say. I have nothing to say. And it has all been said before. Over and over.

I'm opting for silence.
