You are wrong. They celebrated the deaths of 3,000 innocent civilians. We are celebrating the death of an evil man who killed out of pleasure, not necessity.
US killed about a million to get to him.
i guess that's fair.. :-?0 -

However, Bin Laden died in a fire fight. I have no issue with this.
Yeah I do agree with that, however we are all smart enough to not quickly take what the US says at face value, rather wait until more information comes out.
I'm looking forward to details regarding the fire fight. Also location of wounds, as the US has a history of executions. Would it be shocking to find out that they had him alive for a bit? Tortured him? then shot him dead? But what would that matter anyway, Bin Laden was a terrorist. Who cares about the details, we killed Bin Laden, thats what matters. So let's break out the drinks, the flags, the cheerleaders and celebrate, sure we killed many millions of innocents trying to catch him. Sure we slaughtered children in Afghanistan, dropped countless amounts of chemicals over Iraq, bombs from way up high.
The people on the streets cheering right now, should cheer and stay at the white house until the US ends it's bloody occupations.
That's justice, that's time to be happy.0 -
Can someone articulate how and when America killed 'millions of innocents' trying to get to Osama?

Well if you believe the figures of deaths during the war on terror, from both side, Iraqis, afganies, soldiers and civilians, coalition soldiers and so on then yes, there has been a great number killed in the pursuit of bin laden.condescending and sarcastic since 19800 -

What's great news? Killing people without a trial? What is the whole point of laws when they are not followed? Even in the most sensitive of situations, law should not be thrown out for revenge.
No matter how difficult the situation or time.
Do you think that his body guards put down their weapons when we arrived? There was a firefight, so of course him getting shot was a very feasible result. We'd have loved to have gotten him alive.0 -

But, but, but.....he didn't get the right to a fair trial. Innocent until proven guilty right?
His killing was barbaric wasn't it?

i am sorry, but comparing osama bin laden to a child sex offender is a stretch....and mocking those of us that believe in the rule of law is not accomplishing anything."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln

People can debate capital punishment and death penalty on here.. it's all good opinion... (and i mean that)
if I knew or had a loved one killed on 9/11... I would have wanted to be the one to pull the trigger on bin Laden.
Maybe it's barbaric... but it's how I feel.Toronto 2000
