And thank you and your husband for your sacrifices.

I agree with you. My schooling was filled with examples of how morally superior we are. Are the same people celebrating who were offended by other countries dancing after 9/11? Why is our celebrating different (that is, better) than theirs?

Maybe before we sacrificed all those lives in Afghanistan and Iraq (both ours and theirs) and before we knew of all the sacrifices of the first responders, I might have been able to feel some glee, although my religion instructs me otherwise, to rejoice in no one's death. And it's the same religion professed by a majority of the country, but in the last decade I've seen how widely those beliefs vary. I might be content if this death stops the two wars and provides more for 9/11 responders--Why didn't they get a share of that huge Red Cross pie?--but I'm not holding my breath?
