I think you’re wrong about this. The celebration is sicko. It’s an erasure, a reversal. You know, I heard an ABC news babe today refer to the bombing as “the accident”, in a statement referring to one of the severely injured persons. I have always chafed at the use of the word “tragedy”, which is common, and “accident” is just a slightly more honest rendition of the sentiment. What does this have to do with the celebration? It’s the same thing. An erasure of fact.
Sorry, I disagree with that assessment completely. I think those people have every right to release their pent up fears and anxieties. And for once, we actually got the bad guys, even if the circumstances weren't as heroic as we would have liked.
