The good lives after them
It seems that Shakespeare might be wrong to say that "the evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones." Everyone seems to have good things to say about the suicide bombers in England. Here's another "eulogy" from a report, "Trail From London to Leeds Yields Portraits of 3 Bombers", in today's Washington Post:
As parents dropped off their children at the Hillside Primary School in Leeds on Thursday, they had nothing but good things to say about a teaching assistant, Mohammed Sidique Khan, one of the suspected bombers. They called the 30-year-old instructor kind, bright and popular, especially with the special-needs students he was trained to help.
"He was brilliant with the children. He went on trips with the kids, and my little girl went with him on a trip to London," Sharon Stevens, whose 11-year-old daughter attends the school, told reporters.
"I just can't believe that somebody like Mr. Khan could be involved in something like this," said another mother, shaking their head.
