Poetic Jusice

No one should gloat over the six-person ISIS terrorist attack in Tehran, Iran yesterday ... where at least twelve people were killed and 46 injured ... for extensive details see; NY Times Article. Terrorism is just that ... the killing of generally innocent people to incite fear and up the cost of protecting the peace. However, Shiite Iran now has felt the consequence of what it has been fulminating around the world for many years in its manic attempt to punish Western civilization and Sunni Muslims for sins both real and imagined.

As Mark Twain once said, "History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme." Iran's past barbarism is now being treated with some rhyming poetic justice. (OK, a small gloat.)

Poetic Justice

Pan Am 103 was bombed over Lockerbie, Scotland by a Libyan operative, Abelbaset Ali al-Megrahi, in 1988 and 270 people died (259 passangers and crew ... 189 of them Americans).  He was eventually convicted and sentenced to life in prison in Scotland ... but, then under nefarious circumstances, was released back to Libya in August, 2009.  The cover story was that he had cancer and only had a month or so to live.  He is still alive and kicking one and 1/2 years later.  Very recently Libya's dictator, Muammar al-Qaddafi, has also be implicated in this act of terrorism by his former Justice Minister (see: An Aha Moment)

Now, with Libya in utter chaos, wouldn't it be nice if Pan-Am-103 vengences were finnally slaked by the rioting mobs there ... and both al-Qaddafi and al-Megrahi were give the central-square Mussolini treatment (maybe with a nudge from the CIA).  Might not that be the sweetest of poetic justice?

Afterthought:  Let us not forget that Obama's former minister, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, and the leader of the United States' Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan, have both visited and had a private audience with Qaddafi (see WorldNetDaily).
