Bin Laden DEAD!

I haven't lived in the U.S. for over 5 years. Today, I sit in an apartment in Hong Kong reacting to what seems surreal and fantastic. But even with the distance of time and space from 9/11 in NYC, as I look at these spontaneous celebratory images, I can't help but feel emotional.

I grew up in the New York Tri-State area. When those towers tumbled, like many others, I felt a piece of my life crumble and fall. Many lives were lost that day. Even many more have been lost since as a result of that day. I never imagined I would feel this way about the death of an individual man. But today, I am a kindred spirit with this flash mob.
