Osama Bin What!?!?

Before we fell asleep the first night we became aware of the news that public enemy # 1 had been killed. We got texts and calls from family making sure we were in the know about one of the decades biggest headlines. The next morning we woke early and headed off to ground zero. As we arrived we joined a growing crowd of people coming to pay respects, remember, and celebrate on the now vast construction site for the World Trade Centers. News trucks lined the streets for as far as the eye could see. American flags from the giant to the hand held were being flown and waved in the streets and off of buildings. People placed flowers at the fence, and even more posted news papers and pictures. It was a historic day to be in lower Manhattan, and we even bought a paper with a front page caption of “Rot in Hell!” to solidify our memory. As a side note, I know I am not from New York, and I didn’t personally know anyone lost in the 9/11 attacks, but it still kind of disturbed me seeing people celebrate a persons death. Yes he was a creep who had declared war against us, and I am thankful to know he can no longer plot to kill innocent civilians, and yes I felt proud of our special forces, but I can't say I related to the elation of death showed by some.
