Today we celebrate,
for Osama Bin Laden has been killed.
But what has our nation come to,
when we celebrate the loss of a human life?
Though some may deserve to die,
the death of an enemy should be met with
silence,
not cheers.
For the death of an enemy,
does not mark the end of a war.
If anything,
it marks the begging of our struggle,
to hold on,
to our humanity.

I sat down with my family and watched President Obama declare Osama Bin Laden's death. They showed people outside cheering, it just didn't seem right.
