I undestand your point. I was just a tad to damn happy to hear he was killed.

Yes indeed, this is a momentous occasion. The civilized world joined us in outrage at the 911 attacks that killed people of many nationalities and beliefs.

I find it rather nit picky to fuss about how the word "we" was used. It seems to me that the "we" refers to all the people who desire releaf from war and a chance to have a peaceful life.

The war on terrorism is not over but justice has been served for all the people killed by Osama bin Laden.

Accuse me of what you wish. The world will also be a better place when the United States and its citizens are less presumptuous about the world, period. That has led to all sorts of horrible things on scales that exceed what we're talking about here.

bin Laden was a murderer. Of that, there is no question.

I look forward to the day when the United States is compelled, by its citizenry, to abandon the policies around the world that fuel the hatred that makes recruiting to Al-Qaeda so easy.

In spite of the imperialistic policies of our government, the people of the Middle East and Africa want secular governments and a Western style economic system capable of bringing some prosperity to their impoverished citizens. The world is rapidly changing, if we don't change, we will be left behind.
Yes, Osama was symbolic of our failed imperialistic policies. The people of the Middle East want control of their own destinies. They don't want us or the Taliban or any other "foreign" entity bossing them around and controlling their lives.

YES!! The best thing to do is to put his head on a pike at Ground Zero, but I understand we have to go through proper political correctness and do a muslim burial at sea. Let's just hope they at least chose shark invested waters.

And I do thank Obama for keeping up the fight

Next on the list is the Egyptian Zawieri(sic) Osama's mastermind.

I am very pleased Obama chose to go in with Navy Seals rather than blow up the estate from a predator drone. We know for certain who was killed. It will be interesting to know how the Seals did it in view of the extensive security at the estate.

I think we must keep in mind that these are extremists and were OBL
left off someone else will carry on, I don't think it's over yet. He was
one of many.

This is very true.
What people in underdeveloped countries wants more than anything is economic development, and a better future.
Democracy, as we in the west preach about is not necessarily that important to them, they want less corruption, and economic prosperity more than anything.
