Was it really a victory?
The politicians say we won. The talking heads in the media say we won. But did we? I know that sounds great and it makes us feel good, but I’m not too sure. Yes, I know that one of the alleged (remember, always say alleged) criminals in the Boston Marathon bombing is dead and the other has been caught.
