#4  Karma is cosmic payback. There does seem to be a kind of poetic justice here--live by the bomb; die by the bomb.

#3  Same WaPo article:
some Marine families had mixed feelings. Larry Gerlach is a retired Marine colonel whose injuries in the 1983 barracks bombing left him a quadriplegic.

"Your first reaction is yeah, good," said his wife, Patti. "But then you realize that what you're talking about is someone who was blown up in a car bomb -- and you don't want to feel happy about something like that."

Her husband interjected: "But I do."

#2  From WaPo:
With Marines planning to mark this year's 25th anniversary of the Beirut barracks attack, the Marine commander at the time, Col. Tim Geraghty, reflected yesterday on Mughniyah's death in Syria. "It's very fitting that it was a car bomb. It was long overdue," he said from his home in Phoenix.
