One could quote biblical passages on either side of the question all day long, so I suggest you just look to common sense as a guide. Bin Laden was evil incarnate. By his death, Americans are safer and all mankind is better off. Why not celebrate? Yes, he was a human being, but so were Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot. Each was a scourge, and by their death the human condition was improved. Consider Bin Laden's death simply one small victory in the battle between good and evil, and feel free to celebrate without reservation.
