trail of thought

Thousands gather outside White House after word of bin Laden's death.

It's sort of bizarre to see people celebrating over one's death. Certainly after a decade later  9/11, the death of bin Laden seems "justice done" as Obama puts it. The live video of people celebrating in front of White House made me wonder, what are they cheering for? The killing of the al Qaeda's leader may seem as a long-waited relief to the wound of 9/11, but it is not the fundamental solution to the constant terrorist threat. Embarrassing to admit, I'm pretty ignorant with politics and current world issues, but this event would certainly anger the rest of al Qaeda. Weird to be weirded out in the midst of celebration...
