Kathryn Jean Lopez(@kathrynlopez):I was outside the White House after midnight in May 2011 when it was announced that Osama bin Laden had been killed. There was champagne and cigars and cheering. There was something not right about it. Even for him. because that's not who we are. We can be about justice without celebrating death and damnation.
