Well if you ever decide to wage war against large carnivorous koalas I'm sure the US will send aid. They give that shit away like herpes.BlueMage said:

He's dead? Again? Third time now.
Cave for sale!
I'm saddened of how many people, still believe he had anything to do with any terrorist attacks.
Maybe now America will stop inventing excuses for bombing Arabic countries to the stone age and stealing their natural resources.

Is it bad to celebrate the death of someone you don't like? No.
Is it bad to celebrate the death of someone you don't like and publicize it on TV? Yes.
Embrace the slightly darker side of humanity and enjoy it a little...just don't flaunt it all over the place for everyone to see. I can't be the only person in the world who sees it like this.

Honestly, I'm not bothered by it. As much as I understood the reasoning behind al Qaeda's attacks against the U.S., that never excused them in my eyes. They killed innocent people, both here and in other countries. The only problem I ever had with the American response was that we were getting just as ugly as they were just because we could, even though it served no benefit.
I am surprised, though, that my fellow Americans even remembered bin Laden, considering how well the Bush administration had phased him completely out of the conversation by the time we went about invading Iraq. Hell, nobody in this country batted an eye when we had bin Laden cornered in Afghanistan, and Rumsfeld told them to stand down, allowing him to escape. That celebrations became this huge this fast is just a shock.

I'm just going to throw out my American feelings on the matter: It's more a degree of perspective and lack of a thorough education of our founding fathers.Lord Kloo said:
Perspective: George Washington was on our side fighting for us, Osama was fighting against us. We almost always "root for the home team". Therefore, for us = good, against us = bad. It's very.. um.. medieval in thought processes.
Education: I think that Americans fall primarily on the optimistic side of views. It shows in our learning of history. Most schools only teach that George Washington was a founding father, signed the Declaration of Independence and was our first President. Rarely, if ever, do schools teach what Washington did during the war. For example, did you know that Washington pretty much killed off the Iroquois Nation (Native American for those that don't know). The Iroquois' were allied with Britain and Washington didn't want them on his flank in battle, so he pretty much razed every Iroquois village and almost destroyed them as a people. The Iroquois call him the Town Destroyer.
I respect Washington, but I do not make the mistake of thinking Washington is all sunshine and rainbows. He was a hard-ass, he saw a problem and bulldozed it.
Back OT: I think there is one difference in your argument. Terrorist kill to invoke fear to get what they want (not necessarily freedom). Revolutionaries kill to address wrongs that have been done unjustly and "ideally" after stating intentions and only targeting people clearly marked on the other side. I mean, our forefathers stood in lines and fired at the other side, while terrorists try to blend in and strike with as much terror and shock as possible.
If you reply to my post, please keep in mind that this is only my opinion.
This man is responsible for the death of thousands of American civilians, you are damn right we are glad that he is dead. He does not deserve to be even treated as a human, he was a monster and he deserved what he got.TheRealCJ said:
Celebrating the death of an iconic figure is not the same as celebrating the deaths of thousands of civilians. The guy has shown his bias by juxtaposing the two.
As for Osama, he's the worst kind of huckster. I understand that war is old men making policy and young men dying. But in most cultures we do hope that our soldiers come back alive, that's not an acceptable option for Osama.
No heaven, no virgins, just charred chunks of flesh and permanent expulsion from existence in exchange for the minor furthering of a hateful, uncaring old man's futile agenda.

Well it should always be a policy not to mock the bad guys, who knows, one day they might become strong, get all the power, and look for the people who laughed at them the first time around. It's like when the bully applies for a job and discovers the intervviewer is a former victim of his =) Still looking at USA...
he might as well be saying that we shouldn't have celebrated when Hitler was killed -.-
also "(The celebrations) are just like the so-called reports by American television of Muslims celebrating after September 11, this is just as bad.
are you serious? osama was a terrorist, he deserved his fate, the muslims killed around 300 innocent civilians and destroyed the world trade center, i think our celebration is more deserving (even though i'm not American
)

This guy gets it...Osama Bin Laden ruined millions of lives with his terrorists actions and I really don't find it "disgusting" that people celebrated.
It's a little tactless, I'll agree. But since when is celebrating the death of a mass murderer "just as bad" as celebrating the deaths of thousands of innocent people?
