Yes, it's pretty bad to celebrate the death of a man, but this country was brought to its knees by Osama. He orchestrated a devastating plan that killed thousands of innocent people. Families were destroyed and the events left people homeless, widows, and parentless; Osama with his Al Qaeda regime, celebrated over the death of those people by burning American flags and cheered at the coverage of desperate people jumping from the 100th floor in desperation. Excuse me if I no pity or calmness for the man. The Americans who were celebrating were doing so for FINALLY getting some type of closure nearly 10 years after the event.

The "Nobel Peace Prize Winner's" initial plan wasn't to kill the man, he wanted Osama to be brought back and face trial for all his destruction like Saddam; but like the punk that he is, he refused to come willingly and turned weapons on the troops. Guns went off and he used a woman as a human shield to protect himself. He was wanted dead or alive, preferably alive to face trial, but he didn't comply and now we have to deal with his death. We celebrate for the closure and peace of mind that families and friends can finally have, not just because someone died and it's a joyous occasion. It's not over by a long shot with the fight against terrorism, but it's a huge victory for us nonetheless.

"God Bless America" is almost a common and standard closing remark here in the United States for such political figures as the President. Yes, Osama should've had a trial, but he wouldn't come willingly and the worst case scenario happened, MANDOWN!

To America, Osama is equivalent to Satan. I respect your point of view OP, everyone deserves to be heard. However, I guess it's one of those "You just have to be American to understand the misery the man has caused our country"

I'm not here for people who are lucky enough to be far removed from the situation (particularly geographically) but have the audacity to tell Americans how they should feel. SIT. While I most certainly did not party in the streets, this is a huuuuge symbolic moment for Americans, and the reactions I witnessed were not at all unexpected.

Do we have any actual evidence of his death?

Not that I dont believe it but there will always be conspiracy theorists. And it is weird that they dropped the body in the ocean.

I'm sure they'll release a picture eventually.... or one might leak.

This is one of the greatest moments in modern American history and I'm so happy that he is gone, but there is only one thing about this whole situation that is bothering me. It makes me sick to see everyone throwing most of the credit to Obama for this and some are even giving so much credit as to say "he hunted down and killed Bin Laden". Most of the protocol regarding finding and capturing Bin Laden had been in place long before anyone even knew who he was so idk why this is becoming his moment of glory. If this is the cause of him getting re-elected it will make me so mad.

Then why didnt they find him?

[XChrisX]

There's a bomb threat in Europe now, because those Americans killed him. Also several bomb threats in Denmark, being linked to the death of Bin Laden. So I guess a thank you is in order. I hope these threats aren't real, but I'm pretty sure what they just did will stir up some real ****. And also, this comes on the year of the 10th anniversary of 9/11, which makes it a little creepy. I hope nothing happens on 9/11 this year.

[iEatYaBRAINS]

I thought he been died.

[Raguabros]

]Yes it's not an American thing. When they killed a guerilla leader here just a few years back there were people celebrating; but of course that was seen as strange as over-the-top.

[danitykanelover]

for those of you who don't think it is right to celebrate his death, you must not have been anywhere near nyc during 9/11 because if you were you would know exactly why people here were jumping off the walls the other night.

[Swaggie]

He's not dead, they're lying.

OK first I must say that I completely understand the fact that most US people was very affected for the 9/11 attacks and many people lost family and friends in the terrorist act

BUT

1. Don't you think that celebrating someone's dead is pretty bad? Mostly if he was killed very... let's say "raw".
2. Do ya'll US people think this way? Are you all happy for this and do you celebrate his death?
3. How can a Peace Nobel Prize award winner can say that his missions in the outside of the country killed a man?
4. How can Obama say that they proudly killed someone and then say "God Bless Us"? In the Bible there is stated that humans must not killed each other
5. I understand that "justice" has been done but he should've had a trial like Hussein had

I don't know you but i CAN'T (sorry edited) celebrate Bin Laden's death... not because I support him... is just that I believe that NO ONE's life should been taken... NO MATTER WHAT

But this is my opinion... I want to know yours

!

Totally agree.

Beatiful words, but in this case they don't apply, for multiple reasons.

1.) There's an implied fallacy that to kill someone is to hate someone. Murder is entirely seperate from hate.

2.) Osama wasn't killed because we "hate" him. He was killed him because he has been, was, and would have continued to be a significant threat to the entire American populace.

3.) Martin Luther king was speaking on issues revolving discrimination and prejudice where a non-violent approach is realistic option. He was not speaking about situations where the "enemies" one and only goal is to kill as many of his foes as possible.

The people celebrating his death should not be mad when ''they'' attack America and UK again. Those celebrating have made it a whole lot worse.

Anyway this Burial @ sea thing ain't washing with me........ until I see reciepts I'm naming this a conspiracy.

People actually believe Osama's not dead?

Some random guy tweeted during the live raid which killed him. The New York Times posted a 7-page obituary. You think they really wasted their time over somebody who's still alive? Where's your proof? I guess I need to start smoking weed again to better understand these conspiracy theories. First people need a long form birth certificate for Obama (didn't help much), now a long form death certificate for Osama.

The dumbest part of the "he's still alive" conspiracy theory is that it it were true he could easily release a videotape saying "I'm alive" and destroy the U.S death claims.... But of course skeptics demand a death photo rather than a cheap homemade dvd from Osama. How Convenient.

[Hollywood.]

For those of you who still don't believe Osama is dead, and that the government is lying... Al Qaeda just confirmed his death according to CNN.

[MP2K]

I believe he's dead, but the whole story of how they killed him seems bogus.
And by celebrating his death, we deserve to get loaded with bombs. I can't stand the way we act in the U.S.
