Osama is dead! Woo Hoo! What a testament to American efficiency:
10 Years/One man 4,000+ dead American troops 40,000+ maimed, disfigured, amputated and mentally scarred troops 1,500,000(estimated) dead and injured civilians Well over 1 TRILLION dollars spent—and still growing Patriot Act State-funded torture Full body cavity searches to fly on a plane Growing anger and resentment from every corner of the Middle East Growing support for terrorist groups(Who would have guessed, right?)
Hey, but at least your local Walmart is safe from terrorist attacks. Duhh! WINNING!!

Can't disagree with a thing you said and can even add that this is likely to be used to justify torture, Gitmo, Patriot Act, etc. ("See taking your liberties and torture really works!")
But life is a dull and dreary place if you do not celebrate the small things when you can so I'll look at the bright side today. Time enough to worry tomorrow.
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

To start things off, he just had a giant pineapple shoved up his ass along with Hitler.
We still got ALOT more on the schedule.
GodDAMNIT, Satan! I've been wanting someone to do this gag for years, and you blew it! You should have made this post #666, then left forever, started a new account, whatever.
666 THE MARK OF THE BEAST
that was his 666th post. But then he posted a few more elsewhere
as pointed out by a FB friend of mine...it's a little unsettling seeing the parallels between Americans dancing in the streets and cheering last night and the videos of celebrations in the Muslim world after terrorist attacks.
Just food for thought...
also, I don't really think he has/had much of an active role in Al Qaeda anymore. I think that the baton has been passed and he was just a figurehead, if even that.
So, while proud of the Special Ops military forces who risk life and limb every day to protect us...I don't really feel as if we will be safer, at least in the short run. Probably the reverse, as various factions seek "retaliation".

I served in the US military for over eight years. I'd like to explain this to you. The cost of freedom can never be measured. We will not give in to terrorism or attacks on our country no matter the cost in money or lives. Those of us who serve this country know that when we sign we have volunteered to put our selves in harms way. More than our walmart is terror free, and if our vigulance, determination and freedom make a few more terroists unhappy. Hey there's room for a new number one and we can take care of that too.

Well, yes, except the difference is that they were celebrating the death of thousands of innocent civilians, whereas we are celebrating the death of arguably the most evil man of the 21st century. I do see your point, though, and spilling the blood of one person does not undo all the blood that he had spilt himself. For me it was very much a muted celebration last night. I was happy that he had been killed, but also remorseful as it reminded me of everyone who was killed on 9/11, as well as those who have died fighting in Afghanistan since then.
I will agree that Bin Laden no longer had much of a functional role in Al Qaeda, and that his death was largely symbolic. However, that said, I think it was a very important symbol for a great many people, particularly those who have lost loved ones as a result of his actions.
Whether this will result in a positive or negative net effect for our troops remains to be seen. This will undoubtedly provide a huge morale boost to those fighting in Afghanistan, but like you, I'm also worried about the possibility of some retaliatory attacks against them.

As a born-and-bred New Yorker who lost many loved ones on 9/11, let me just say thank you for this post. People need to stop looking at this as a "we won!" scenario.
I don't mean to take away from the job any of the troops have done or the sense of justice 9/11 victims' families may be feeling. As someone who had people extremely close to me pass away that day, I wanted Osama to be brought to justice as much as anyone.
But dancing in the streets? Seeing college kids partying it up like it was homecoming? I'm sorry, this should have generated a more solemn response. Obama is not the "head of the snake" as people are making him out to be. He's more like one of the legs of a spider, but that's besides the point. This doesn't end the threat of people trying to harm innocent American civilians. I hate to be a downer, but this is the reality of the situation. The likelihood of a retaliation went up ten-fold when this news became public.
He was an evil, hate-filled, murderous scumbag who deserved worse than he got. But the way our country is reacting, like we're all celebrating a World Cup victory or something, leaves something to be desired.

Unprovoked attack killing thousands of innocent people. Not to mention the lives lost because of other attacks (not just 9/11) under his watch. There's a big difference in the two situations IMO.

Just because you see it on the news doesn't mean that's how everybody in the country is reacting. It's just a portion of people.
I'm not saying that I'm not happy he's finally erased from the rolls of the living. I am.
But I also think that the eyes of the world are going to be on our reactions. With anti-American sentiment being the current mood in much of the world, why invite more trouble?
I'm just seeing both sides. and in the sense of fairness, stating the other side. that's all.

I think in the eyes of the world pretty much everyone thought Osama was an evil person that needed to be dealt with. So people celebrating because we rid the world of an evil and got some vengeance for a terrible tragedy doesn't seem that bad to me and I would hope other countries would also be glad that such an evil was removed.
To be quite honest.....I think it would be weird if some people weren't celebrating. If everyone just reacted solemnly it would probably seem pretty odd.

It's not just on the news. Anyone with a Facebook, Twitter, or Tumblr account can see that everyone is celebrating in a rather tasteless manner.
Himanshu from Das Racist has been reposting some tweets he's seen over the course of the past 24 hours, and again, I know it's not an entire representation of our country, but some of the horrible things said, not to mention the mind-blowingly liberal use of the term "sand-nigger" is just disgusting.

Yea, that kind of hate is disgusting and in an ideal world we wouldn't resort to that. But some people do.
The point is.......that what you see reported (or what you see people post on social networking) is not how everyone is reacting. It's some people. Some people are celebrating and singing in the streets. Some people are quietly reflecting on the past 10 years at home. Some people are taking to facebook and twitter and posting hateful comments. Some are keeping to themselves (though still celebrating in their own, calm, non-hateful way). Some aren't celebrating at all. Some are totally indifferent to this news.
