Farmer's Fable and Bin Laden

When I heard the news of the death of Islamic bastard, Osama Bin Laden, the only thing I could think of is this:

The Farmer's Fable


A poor farmer had only one horse and one son.  One day, his horse ran away.

All the neighbors came by saying, “I'm so sorry. This is such bad news. You must be so upset.”   The man just nodded and said, “We'll see.”

A few days later, his horse came back with twenty wild horses.  The man and his son corraled all 21 horses.

All the neighbors came by saying, “Congratulations! This is such good news. You must be so happy!”   The man just nodded and said, “We'll see.”


One day, one of the wild horses kicked the man's only son, breaking both his legs.

All the neighbors came by saying, “I'm so sorry. This is such bad news. You must be so upset.”   The man just nodded and said, “We'll see.”

A few months later, the country went to war, and every able-bodied young man was drafted to fight. The war was terrible and killed every young man, but the farmer's son was spared, since his broken legs prevented him from being drafted.

All the neighbors came by saying, “Congratulations! This is such good news. You must be so happy!”   The man just nodded and said, “We'll see.”


Is justice really served?  I think so - but we'll see.
