Bin Laden Death Brings Relief

Many of us were watching the Phillies battle the Mets when we got the news that Osama Bin Laden had been killed. It is unusual for commentators to interrupt a national telecast with a news story. But that's exactly what the ESPN broadcast crew did around 11pm last night. Big news indeed. Much of the country rejoiced at home with the Citizen's Bank Park crowd who repeated chants of "U-S-A!". Within the hour citizens in Washington DC gathered in front of the White House and in New York at the site of the former twin towers, some draped in American flags chanting "U-S-A!".

The death of Osama Bin Laden touches many so many people in a personal way. The pain caused by the horror inflicted by Bin Laden has simmered for almost 10 years. Even if we did not know someone personally who was lost in the attacks of 9-11, or lost in the war that followed, Bin Laden made us all feel a little more vulnerable. And he frustrated us by his evasiveness. The death of Bin Laden closes a chapter of evil. Justice has been served.
