I have read the comments, jokes and speculation. I have reservations and opinions of my own. I'm pretty sure I know what this has done to the political landscape of our country (what I really care about), and I'm not sure I like it. I can smile and laugh at the play on words, and support out troops and the work they do. I am a huge supporter or our nation and a conservative, but this perspective makes one think.

The life lesson it brings to mind is coaches tell us to "act like you've been there before" Greg Maddux use to say "don't give them anything to remember you by".
I think its just yet another example of how our world has become a dramatic place where everthing is instantanious and over played. This pertains to presidential speaches, citizens reactions to the media and everything in between.

i think dancing and partying in the streets is appropriate to celebrate the death of evil.

Stik, we can agree to disagree on this if need be.
I feel that our soilders didn't kill evil, they killed an evil man. There is plenty more individuals willing to take up the cause. Enciting them and providing motivation for retaliation or recruitment isn't the best idea IMO...remember how those videos of the Middle East made us feel after 9/11. Furthermore, is it the high road and "being the bigger person" I'd call it a knee jerk reaction.

Truely it is a great development for America and the fight against terrorism that has impacted us here as well as many other nations around the globe.
I just feel as if celebration/speaches/media should be structured in a way to try and douse any uprising flames vs. fanning them...

I agree with the above quote.
I also think the article was a muslim propaganda piece for the "peaceful"( PR firm) arm of the muslim brotherhood (Terrorists).
Hey lady, How about you and all your quiet peaceful muslims actively stand up against radical islam ? How about publicly and privately condemning islamic violence which includes revolution and murder ?
At some point in time muslims are going to have to reject any sect that uses violence, intimidation, and murder. That wasn't the point of her article. It was to criticize America for celebrating the death of a mass murderer.

Sure there are good Muslims but before you side with any of them you need to understand their beliefs and then I think you will understand that they literly hate us !!! Read their Koran ! Either you are a Muslim or either you are not . It is an spiritual evil based religion !

Fishboy with another excellent post.
Give it a rest lady. People like you are used to a friendly crowd of America hating college kids and limousine liberals. She finally gets a taste of NORMAL America and she's whining????
Hey, ship your rear end back over to the muslim stone ages and see where that gets ya!!!!!
