It's in the fuck koran for Christ's sake! They have a waiver on any sin when it comes to fucking over infidels. Lie, cheat, steal, kill, screw over, it's all good with their Imams.
BTW- Not apologizing at all. But WTF are we doing in THEIR countries? How would YOU feel if the Saudis decided they would set up an army base in Texas, and then took over Washington and rewrote our laws to be acceptable to them? Goose sauce= gander sauce, no?
Hardware, as an exercise in logic why don't you try re-framing things? For example, in anti-abortion discussions, every time you read the word "abortion" substitute "war" or "death penalty". In discussions about "terrorists", every time you read the word "terrorist" substitute the phrase "American military" or "police". You might see that the same arguments and logic apply in different contexts. Perhaps, logically, there is no separation.
FWIW I'm relieved that he's dead. That is one less boogeyman to hype people up with. But I don't kid myself that this spells an end to jihadism specifically or terrorism in general.
Bingo, Signy. It probably doesn't bring one soldier home from Afghanistan anytime soon, but whether he died a decade ago or a day ago, making it "official" that he's dead and gone brings a sense of closure to the whole debacle, in a way. It means Osama is one bogeyman they'll never be able to hoist up to terrify people with again.

I love it when the libs here show their true colors, they hate America so much the excuse the murder of 3000 Americans. Its makes me sick, but I've come to expect it from the sick fucks here.
By the same token, you and all your right-wing asshole brethren hate humanity so much that you'll excuse the murders of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, and cheerlead it as "patriotism". The true "sick fucks" in this country vote for Republicans and teabaggers, and claim they care about anything but their own murderous and greedy desires. No wonder you're with them!

What strikes me as rather strange, is that a vast superpower nation such as the USA, is throwing a big party because they have taken 10 years to kill ONE Man. Do you think that the whole Islamic terrorist shit is now going to collapse and fold because Bin Laden is dead? Is there no more organisation below Bin Laden?
I'm sorry, but your Government is easily pleased.
The fact that just one bloke's death can cause massive chants of "USA" in the streets is a pretty poor indication of how desperate you are to achieve a victory.
I'm shedding no tears over his death, but partying in the streets over one man???It's a pretty pathetic effort IMO.
Peacekeeper---keeping order in every verse!!!
Did nobody in England celebrate when Hitler's death was announced?

Well I'm glad he's dead. And the celebrating (not that much in the grand scheme of things, just in New York and DC as has been said) makes sense to me, I think people are feeling closure, maybe even a closure that they didn't know they were looking for in some cases, I felt it and I didn't know I would, or that I was seeking it, I didn't know until it happened. I like the comradery I see in the news footage of people at the White House etc. Call me whatever you want I don't rightly care.
Byte's point is worth considering though, it feels good to celebrate and have said comradery as countrymen, but will it lead to more trouble for our warriors? It may, which bothers me. But I don't think we can stop spontaneous jubilation, so we'll have to handle things as they come.

Well said, and about sums up my feelings on it. I don't celebrate his death, but the closure it will help bring.

Likely they were celebrating the death of the one who killed their siblings, parents and or grandparents, as he took their land.
It IS sad that Castro still lives. I agree.

So you will be completely understanding when large-scale celebrations break out in Baghdad when Dubya dies, right?

No, not really. But you're too stupid for me to even bother explaining it...
