“Thousands of young people took to the streets to cheer the death of Osama bin Laden.” Though unseemly, it’s easy to understand why the revelry was greatest in New York, Washington and Boston. These were “the cities most directly affected by the 9/11 attacks.” Nobody can forget what happened on September 11, when the lives of a nation changed forever. “Bin Laden’s death was, for many, the first event to diminish the sense of horror that arrived in their childhood and followed them ever since.” Unseemly or not, the cheering is understandable.
