It really makes us no better than al queda. A terrorist is dead, cool. Time to move on.

Someone already beat you to it, bro.


So what do you suggest we do when a national "enemy" is killed? Sit somberly around a fire and have a moment of silence for him? What, exactly, is so wrong about celebrating, indeed, cheering on the death of someone who intentionally contributed to the deaths of thousands of completely non-combatant civilians? Cheering for a malicious bastard's death makes us no better than those who will actively seek to take lives. Haha. That's REALLY funny.

Now you'll come back with "the US killed X citizenry . . .!"

I don't have a response for that. I'm not defending the military or the United States in general. I know we're a fucked up people, but so is every other significantly sized body of people, granted the power to execute (again, not a defense, just an observation.)


And BTW, "to the extent that has happened here?" What, are people holding parades through the streets? Public bbqs and parties specifically for the purpose of celebrating Osama's death? What celebrating have you seen? All I've seen, are people expressing their approval of his death on the Internet. What a huge celebration.
