Stardate 20010611.0549 (On Screen): And so it ends. McVeigh has joined his victims.
It's important to understand what didn't just happen. There was no deterrence: this execution won't dissuade others from doing the same thing. There was, God knows, no remorse: McVeigh apparently went to his death believing he'd done a good thing. Nothing was cured: everyone who died in the attack is still dead; everyone who was wounded still lives with their wounds. What there has been is justice. A horrible crime has been punished.
Good riddance. (discuss)
