First, let me say that I was as glad as everyone else to get the news (in my case via a text from my sister) on May 1 that Osama bin Laden had been found and killed.
As the news spread and reports began to come in I have to say that I was uneasy with many of the scenes of celebration throughout our country. Not the joy at seeing justice done, which I'm sure was part of the emotional mix, but the party atmosphere that has since been described as "spiking the football" and a "Super Bowl party" (Why so many football analogies). It just didn't sit well with me as many people, many of which were very young (if around at all) when 9/11 happened, danced around looking like they were just happy to have found another reason to party.
I asked myself at the time, "what is the proper response that I, as a Christian, should have to the news." I was happy then when Voices of Faith changed their regularly scheduled question to ask how a "person of faith" (the newspaper phrases their questions very broadly) should respond to bin Laden's death.
