You may resheathe your sword, HABIB. It's drawn blood.
Trust me when I say there was little satisfaction in the kill. When the choice is between the lesser of two evils, whether to ally oneself in battle, to elect one's President, or to stop a criminal stealing from other criminals, there is never complete satisfaction. In these cases, innocence and chivalry are silent ciphers, sitting solemnly by, mourning their own inconsequentiality. If one loses the faith and brotherhood of comrades-in-arms during the fray, then the unease and disquiet double.
