Thanks for mentioning -- very eloquent indeed.

[WS:] From the above referenced piece:

"There are those, primarily on the left, who are celebrating the passing of these two ghouls. In a way, it's understandable; in some instances, fitting. But I rarely, if ever, feel any joy when criminals like Pinochet and Kirkpatrick die. Yes, they've met their maker, but then, we all do, eventually."

Another way of putting it would be what one of his ex-collaborator said of Pol Pot when he died of old age - "He just died. Nobody killed him." The latter, I believe, would provide a much more satisfying closure to the lives of these vile excuses for human beings. But unlike many lefties, I am for retributive justice.
