as the news of osama bin laden's death hit the press,
people in america gathered together.
to celebrate the death of osama bin laden.
differences somehow magically dissipated
ironically, unified by: death.
al jazeera reported, and so did cnn.
yet, cnn reported the celebration.
al jazeera reported the situation.
i see something horrible in this.
not because i support any of al qaeda's actions
nor because i find that this action is unjust.
but the fact that someone is celebrating death.
i have always learned to hate the sin not the sinner.
a life is a life, no matter how horrible the person's action was.
cnn failed me in that.
they celebrated death, hated the sinner.
al jazeera never condoned obl's actions,
but they haven't lost objectivity.
they did not celebrate death.
instead, they celebrated justice.
"celebrate justice, not a loss of life"
