Osama bin Laden is dead. It was the top story on espn.com. It was the "greatest night" of Geraldo Rivera's "career." It was celebrated in the streets of Boston, New Haven, New York, and Los Angeles. Headlines describe Americans as "jubilant." New York City fire chiefs remember their fallen colleagues and describe their feelings of "closure." President Obama proclaims this "a good day for America." Phillies fans chant "USA! USA! USA!"
Is it ok to chant? Should we be celebrating? Is it right to feel closure with this event--and what does closure mean? Is it acceptable to feel 'jubilant?' Is it right to feel 'jubilant?'
