Although I am obviously not saddened by Osama's death, I still find rejoicing about it ... unappealing. Martin Luther King couldn't have said it better:
"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that"
Martin Luther King, Jnr.
