The best part: when my children got up, and I got to explain to them what happened, and show them the pictures of Saddam. My youngest was so amazed at how bad he looked! And we're all joyous.

The kids are the ones for whom 9/11 will be their earliest significant major-event memory. I remember Apollo 13 being almost lost and yet coming in safely; they will remember the collapse of the WTC and our victories in Afghanistan and Iraq. This is the kind of moment that they'll be remembering where they were when!

That we have triumphed on this is going to be important to them for the rest of their lives.

I'm sorry for Dem children who will not be cheering this morning like mine were.

Beautiful post, CC.

Tears of joy all over the world today, I think. Maybe even in some former Dem homes.
