Will we elevate the next Bin Laden up to the embarrassing level that we elevated this Bin Laden?

I hope not. It will be shameful.

Let's learn our lesson. Promote who we are. The nation of opportunity, of love, of freedom. We aren't so much the nation that Bin Laden made us turn into for so many years as we are the nation that, for example, weeps for our fellow citizens in the South who have been ravaged by tornadoes these last several days. We want to help, we want to love, we want to be united. But we can't let terrorists or cynical political forces dictate who we are.

We need to say: "Never again".

We're better than that.
