Weep, Mother.
I am the only cynic who really doesn't see what the point of celebrating the death of a single man is? I mean, whoop-ee we gots to kill another of 'dem, but someone else is just gonna take his place, and for all we know the next guy could be 10x as bad as this fool...... Idk; just don't see the point of people celebrating in the streets...

What religion are NESers?

NESerism. The believe that we are somehow 1337 compared to other forumns and the enjoyment of various types of games along the intricate-simplistic continuum with the excess of stories as a means to internet based salvation.

Next guy, what next guy? I mean the war on terror is over amirite? Its time to bring our troops home and stop meddeling in affairs that dont concern us. Perhaps we should consider fixing our own country before we start invading anymore...
now if that was what was gonna happen i could see reason to celebrate

More bloodshed in the world, no real justice. I don't see what is to celebrate.

"Today, we are reminded that as a nation, there is nothing we can't do when we put our shoulders to the wheel, when we work together." And he's talking about *killing* someone very violently using a Hatredcopter™. IMO that's just a little messed up.
EDIT: yeah maybe he had it coming, but still. Its not inspirational material. Another bloody episode. Not like they just landed someone on Mars or anything.
The guy wasn't even much relevant to anything anymore, far as I know.

It's a matter of national pride and honor, not revenge.
The relentless hunting down of bin Laden will make many future terrorists think twice before attacking America.

At least they didn't predator drone some civilians instead!
But in that the peace seeking faction of American society should be able to use this symbolic victory to support bringing an end to the war on terror. No, we didn't accomplish something, but we FEEL like we've accomplished something and if anything this will give more congressional support to the drawdown in Afghanistan. When this means that we are no longer nationbuilding in Afghanistan and we can reapportion the extra military budget to domestic nationbuilding it will be a time for truly bombastic celebration, and will probably help Obama pull out the electoral win when our troops are home before the 2012 elections. Unemployment is under 10% now.
Afghanistan for instance, is sure to be cut back severely, reducing budget concerns, and a big reason will be because we FELT like we had accomplished something and could leave with dignity.
Do you want to announce that you're running against the President who killed Osama Bin laden? I can't imagine any of the Republicans want to do that, so their fundraising will be stifled for a couple of months and they will delay announcements, hell, maybe until August. This story plays out in a pretty positive manner if you are willing to ignore the human element.
If you insist upon the importance of the human element then I just want to make sure that we are all talking about the same Osama bin Laden who, even if he did it at Bush's behest, orchestrated the 9/11 hijackings? I am sorry, I just have trouble feeling sorry for him. I don't see how having him out there plotting against America (even if only to protect his own life at this point, even if he wasn't really a Mujahideen but a tool of the Illuminati, at this point he had to be plotting at least to evade capture and also to physically harm those who would attempt such a capture) would be any better than a symbolic victory that I hope can be used to end our ill thought out crusades.
