A Coda to 9/11: Cheers and Reflections
By: Sardar Anees Ahmad

News of the death of Osama bin Laden is cause for great happiness and great pause. A man responsible for nearly 3,000 deaths has been killed. Justice has been served. 

Yet the families and friends of the victims of 9/11, more so than others, will forever have to deal with the loss of the loving embrace of their loved ones. Therefore, they must know that their struggle is ours, and even while we rejoice in this news, we do not forget their struggle. We are, as President Obama noted, “united as one American family.”
