Celebrating on ground zero, no less. You know, where people died.
Yeah, I saw NBC telling people to send in video of their celebrations. I mean, I'm glad it happened, but that's still a little F*ked up.

I agree. This isn't the end of terrorism by a long shot. We've still got a long way to go, and I honestly doubt that anybody will be able to stop terrorism in its tracks. It'll always be out there.

As for celebrations, it may seem wrong to do it on Ground Zero, and I agree with that. However, I think they were doing that to show that justice had been served and that we did what we set out to do. Yeah, it won't bring the dead back, but we've avenged their deaths, and I think celebration is in order for that.

Bet those Naval officers are heroes!

In fact, if the citizens of a small town in Pakistan would salute & thank them, I could imagine three short lumberjacks singing...

We represent the Lollipop Guild, the Lollipop Guild, the Lollipop Guild.
And in the name of the Lollipop Guild, we wish to welcome you to Pakistan


(LOL) I cracked up laughing writing this zinger!

Noone has been avenged with this death. America still illegally invades defenseless countries and commit 9/11-style attrocities every day just to keep the oil barons happy, they send innocent soldiers to their deaths every day fighting a war they will NEVER win (religioas fantacism can never be reasoned with) and costing us all billions of money developing weapons everyone can SEE. America disgraces the victims of 9/11 every day with their "eye for an eye" mantra. It doesnt matter how justified it is, it's a horrible mantra to live by.

"War on terror" my ass...there's no such thing as "good guys" and "bad guys", just a buch of human beings with guns, big mouths, and a warped display of greed, insecurity and opinionation, THAT'S what makes the world difficult.

I think the celebrations would be more appropriate if Obama came out and said the operations in Afghanistan are now over. Everyone is just celebrating a death, nothing more.

I'm not that much of a pacifist that I'd say it's bad that this douche got killed but the celebrations make me sick to my stomach.

"Avenged their deaths"? What is this, medieval times? Are people in the 21st century still this superficial? Wait, don't answer that...

I'm glad they got him....to some extent. I mean he deserved all that he got sure, but it's not the end of terrorism and it's silly to think they are going to bring our troops home.

This war wasn't entirely about Bin Laden in the first place and his death isn't going to make it *poof* go away. I actually fear more that there will be retaliation.

Celebrating? No no no... I feel That's just....wrong. Now...if some of the survivors/ family of survivors went out and lit candles at ground zero (or some sort of memorial) I could see that, but people were partying like their hometown team won the super bowl. I think we kinda lowered ourselves there. Just my opinion.

I see a lot of people chiding the revelers. The more I think about it, the more I can see their point.

However: when the most charitable nation on Earth dances in the street because you're dead, then you really deserved it.

Something just felt right about it. Then again, maybe I'm just a bad person.

Dear lord, who'd have thought the day would come when I completely agree with Voltron?

Oh Geez. The guy is dead. The reason they can't say the location of his for lack of a better word burial spot it so they won't have any memorials. Is it a good P.R. move, hell yeah. Is it a conspiracy? Hell no, a group of Navy Seals had a shootout, took out Bin Laden and that's that.
As for all of those celebrations, well it's fu**ed up but I can't say I'm too surprised.
But if I had lost someone near and dear to me in the 9/11 attacks I don't know how I would react hearin Bin Laden was dead.

I think if I'd lost someone in the terrorist attacks, I'd feel mixed emotions. Happy that he's dead, but sad that it would remind me of what happened that terrible day. I'm sure that's how people are feeling.

There was debate on whether bin Laden's picture should be shown to the public, but Obama refused to do so. I think that's a good call because I really don't want to see the picture of him being dead.

Showing the picture will not stop the conspiracy theorists from saying that he wasn't killed. They'll say the picture was photoshopped....or that it wasone of his doubles....or whatever.

I'm glad they aren't showing it. Mostly because i'd rather not be shown a graphic picture of someone who was shot in the forehead by a high power rifle. It can't be something good to look at. And you know if they released it there would be no avoiding it.

I remember when they killed Saddam Hussein's sons Uday and Qusay and put those pictures out. Horrifying.

It basically all comes down to whether or not you care to believe the government on this. I believe them. Why lie about it?
