oh well... i'll go find a green alien woman to hump then...

I'm not quite sure how to answer this post. Whether to sugar coat it or just come right out & say what I'm really thinking. First thing in the morning doesn't settle well with me at the moment. You have every right to think , feel, speak however you wish & I have that same right. Many have put their lives on the line & died for those rights. Sometimes you have to celebrate ones death to have less deaths to mourn. An eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot...burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe. Seems there's been more than enough loss of our loved ones to celebrate Osamas death. I'm not exactly dancing in the streets but I'm not mourning either. JMHO

Lynch mob? Are you saying that dancing in the street to celebrate a mans death who has brought death and destruction to our country a long with other countries a lynch mob? Maybe you should look up what that means in the dictionary.

Tell that to the families who have lost loved ones either during the 9/11 attacks or over seas in the desert. I don't think you will ever be able to bring closure to these people. But at least this means all the efforts our people have put forth for this country have not gone in vein.

Not only am I dancing. But I'm high fiving and hugging our soldiers who have been over seas and risked their lives for us.

And yes...I know this doesn't mean its over. But hell if isn't a step in the right direction.

I agree with both artlo and J.

I don't agree with calling what's happening a lynch mob. OP, did you know anyone who lost their life or was injured on 9/11? Do you have any family or friends who have been deployed overseas because of this man? Do you have any idea of the amount of death and destruction this man has brought to this country? If yes, I'm sure you can understand, at least in some way, why people are reacting the way they are.

I live near the Naval Academy and went over there the other night after the President announced that Bin Laden was dead. There was lots of hugging, high fives and tons of emotion going on there that night. It was a pretty awesome sight to see. These guys are training to be part of our military, to be able to defend our country. They put their lives on the line to protect us from people like Bin Laden. I can absolutely see why they were celebrating.

I've also had both friends and family who have been deployed overseas for months and years because of this man. I have absolute respect for them and am hoping more troops can come home now.

I'm sorry you feel shame for the way people have reacted.

New York HAS the right to be a lynch mob...

The NYPD and FDNY have been leading the pack for years...


just so you know hundreds of the first responders who WEREN'T killed

on 9/11 are slowly dying off one by one from breathing in the toxic

dust on that day... yeah- what do you say to their families? NY has the right to be a lynch mob.

you didn't watch any of his tapes? and another thing, how many times has a cop said come with me, or if someone shoots at a cop, does the cop kill him? when your wanted by the police, and you try to fight, you get shot... that is any country, not just the US... he had a choice, to go with the seals or die... he choose death

Dancing and Lynching are not the same thing, when you get an A on a test at school , do you LYNCH? WTF?

I saw with my own eyes that second plane go into that tower and bodies jumping out the windows...(on live tv) and that was enough to make me wanna kill someone---I thought the first crash was an accident but as news covered it in live time---and I realized what was happening. and for him to come outright and claim responsibilty---HELL YEAH THERES A DANCE IN ORDER!!!!

Perhaps if he was a rapist and got a hold of your daughter your opinions may differ....(funny how some people remain numb when their inner circle is not affected)

We defended our country from future destruction...We have lost a lot of Service men as a result, and they have lost a lot of sanity and limbs for those who have survived....It's time for some repercussions, and apparently HE KNEW It, OR HE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN HIDING>

A SO CALLED MARTYR----HIDING and letting everyone else do his dirty work and yet praised as a MARTYR for his country-- BITE ME!

Does anyone remember that movie, THREE KINGS with GEORGE CLOONEY! How the arabs poured OIL down their throats while our soldiers tried to help their people get free....Some of you should rent that film, you might learn something.

Be careful America. The same dance you do now in the streets to celebrate a death, can be the same streets you march down to mourn a death. How different are we than those we condemn? Dancing for Death? Shame

We as American are suppose to act and be better than the rest of the world. But i guess some things are just to good to give up

where did you get that at? we aren't any better than the rest of the world... it's a dog eat dog world, and we are the pit bulls...

oh well... i'll go find a green alien woman to hump then...

I guess it was ok for Black people to celebrate OJ beating a corrupt justice system

Who will put Mr Bush and Co on trail for lying to start a War? WTF it just you Family and friends Dying

The killing of Bin Laden and capture of Al-Qaida documents put a big dent in an operation aimed at murdering innocent people. We can all take pride in that - the lives we have saved.

Had Bin Laden been killed and Al-Qaida plans compromised earlier then we could have potentially avoided the 911 bombings and the attacks in London, Madrid, India and elsewhere - saving many.

People are not rejoicing over Bin Laden's death.

People are rejoicing for the innocent lives saved.

I will toast the innocent people saved by the hobbling of
Al-Qaida and their leadership.

We no longer live by the draft, i've never met a soldier who didn't volunteer to be in the service--and who was not proud to go out and do what they did out there...the ones who were drafted like my grandparents---were very proud to serve in the military in their time...
