He's dead wahoooooo! I'm so happy but I would have wanted him tortured slowly lol but anyways he's dead!!!! is it normal that I'm this happy? But also worried that now all his buddies are gonna be after us now?
I find it funny how there has been no evidence towards him being dead and yet everyone is like "yeah hes dead wooo". It just goes to show that the average moron will believe anything thats on mainstream news. I have always believed that the goverment is the cause of Osama Bin Laden and the fact that they havent shown any evidence of his death or captured him to show they have him shows that I (along with alot of others) are most likely right. I mean why would you bury someone in the sea? sounds to me like they are making excuses so no one can find the body, that is if there even is a body.
i totally agree with everything u said.
just so some of u guys might want to know al qaida(quida?) announced that if they ACTULLY kill osamah binne. That they would arm(detonate?) a bomb in europe that has been planted.many people belive it is supposed to be in a major city
So how has the death of one man made this world safer, or more dangerous? This is just another media distraction. This is when you need to pay more attention- not get lost in a frenzy.
I'm glad he is dead also. But it was really his right hand guy who planned and made sure their evilness went as planned. And he is still alive to plot more terror. I don't really want to sound mean and spiteful, but I can't help myself, BUT, when he died maybe he was greeted with whores instead of virgins.
Yeah, 2000 dead in the two towers, sorry of course. Not with or against bin laden, but the US keeps Israel killing the same 2000 every 6 months or so. Now who are the terrorists, the ones who killed 2000, which of course is still debated if bin laden had a hand in that, conspiracy theory. or others killing innocent people everyday qnd USA is happy that he died. Or is it a presidency ensuring election for Obama sooner. Wake up people.
It might be a coverup by the US government. Just becuse its on paper doesn't mean it's true.
It think it's sad that there is a celebration over ones death. Yeah we do executions but you don't normally see the victims family walking into the viewing room with balloons and confetti. I think America needs to be calm about this and be respectful. I pray nothing bad happens.
i am glad he is dead it took long enough think about the 2000 + that died in the twin towers
Didn't read any of the comments.
That said, I don't think it's normal. Or maybe it is normal, but I wish it wasn't the norm.
Osama bin Laden is dead. But that doesn't mean anything for us. In addition to 9/11, we've lost even more Americans in the middle east. The national debt keeps rising. Corporate tax dodgers are manipulating congress so as to cut public programs and attack our unions. The rich get richer, the middle class gets poorer.
Maybe a basic emotion of vindication is all you feel, but the war is far from over. Our country just keeps digging its own grave. This is no time to celebrate.
Was one old man's life worth the thousands of U.S. service members that have died? Al Qaida is a ****ing hydra. Cut off the head, it grows back two more.
We've achieved nothing, but we've spent tons of money and lives. LONG LIVE THE USA! *fart*
Osama bin Ladin lost his humanity when he started to attack innocent civilians killing thousands world wide. Men wemon and children all being killed for a perverted form of a religion is not right and therfor he deserved to die and we should celebrate the death of a monster
First to all of you who say to be reverent screw that he was a mas-murdering f***head and deserved to die. Second this showed that the us can get anyone it's just a matter of time. Third terrorists only try to create fear not overthrough governments.
Yeah but they are terrorist and they will do 2 things
1 get a new leader
2 they will do something to us in revenge
Had you initially said all that, I wouldn't have made the assumption that you're just another 20-something 'getting out their opinion' unthinkingly. Too many posts on here are unless complaints or empty agreements, it's rare to have a true answer.
No doubt many were lost, I don't know anyone involved or even in America at the time, but I offer my respect.
I'm still extremely questionable towards whether al-Qaeda or Bin Laden had to do with it, but if you believe that then his death will be a relief: however it's not a celebration. He had family, who are now suffering a loss.
I'm extremely well travelled and you'd likely be mistaken to think youve seen more or know more. The countries and people I've seen after this mess are scared of the West and wish they didn't come. Of course we can't get up and leave now, as we've disturbed things and must allow things to settle before we take troops out, but it would be very wrong to say that when we first arrived the country was worse than now, it's simply untrue.
Carolann,
I wasn't there. I was on the West Coast. Later to find out one of the planes was headed to my area. Flight 93 memorial is in my city. Every year the crowds garher to give respect. Im sorry for The horror you must have gone through. I am with you on what you posted. Every dang word.
Hi Tori,
I didn't suffer the direct personal impact that a lot of people did, with the loss of a spouse or boyfriend, son or daughter. I was a college intern working nearby. I didn't even make it all the way to work that morning.. My internship ended because of damage to my building. Most of that day is a numb blur. I went to my mother's place near Central Park and didn't leave for days.
It was all our horror. We all have our stories and memories of that day.
And I'm not happy. It just leaves me emptier. I don't wish him dead I just wish he hadn't existed and hurt so many people so badly.
what people dont get is that america went into these countries, guns-a-blazing, killing thousands of innocent people and expect them not to get pissed off and retaliate! i feel so ashamed being a human being because of all the hate in the world. but it all stems down to money and power. the rich get richer and the poor get dead. i can understand that muslims want freedom without the control of the western world, why cant the western world understand that? its just a control war.
I see both sides of this. Americans aren't used to being attacked in their own country. It shocked me, and I'm not American. However, I live in a country that was victim to an American-sponsored terrorist attack. Whether I'm from Libya, Iraq, or Western Europe, I wish people wouldn't gift money to "freedom fighters" when they are on your side but call them terrorists when they are not. Whether they are with you or against you, they are terrorists.
American business (some big names which I won't specify in public) loyally sponsored the IRA freedom fighters against their evil English oppressors. The freedom fighters blew up a 12 year old and a 3 year old child out shopping for a Mothers Day card. Three years later, they tore the heart out of my city (while I was there, but luckily at least half a mile from the bomb itself). We were hosting the European championships at the time and the billion pound plus of material damage was probably less than the political damage that Britain is an unsafe country to visit. Due to luck and incompetence, nobody was killed. It just doesn't ever seem a good idea to sponsor terrorism.
I'm guessing you're talking about the Warrington and Manchester bombings. I'm sorry I really have no memory of them, as I was young. I do remember that we used to summer in England, and that in my early teens we stopped doing that, and this might have been the reason we stopped.
I'm really sorry about what happened. I would like to debate you on this, but I have no facts, and since I'm the last open minded person on earth, I won't fall back to the "we're America, we're great and don't do anything bad". And if you fire me up, you know which side I will argue on, as you know my roots are with the passport with the unicorn.
When you say IRA to the vast majority of Americans, it means Individual Retirement Account. The Troubles have no meaning to them. But the Irish of the city of Boston are another story. I know there were many Irish in Boston that openly supported the IRA. But they're Irish, and they operate beyond logic.
Hopefully any American business leader in a position to support the IRA is long retired and that period can now be put behind us.
Carolann, the crap that you say amazes me daily.
It's pro-American ('we're the best, don't mess with us, you deserved it, Muslim scum' blahblahblah) that created the hatred in the middle east. If you weren't so arrogant towards others, you'd recognise that these countries would've stabilised themselves long ago without your interference. It's by no means the view of every American, nor the view of only Americans, but the majority of comments spout from America.
Death should never be celebrated, he was human. You're digging yourselves into a much deeper hole and you shouldn't be surprised to see more attacks..
I feel for anyone who's lost someone, many American and non- have been lost, but no one celebrated their death; you've no right to disrespect another.
In fairness, I stole the text I wrote above from an email one of my traders sent me. He gets full credit.
Normally I wouldn't be so harsh. Normally I wouldn't have this anger. And normally on 9/11 I would have enjoyed a beautiful day in south Manhattan rather than standing on West Street watching a building fall down.
You see it on TV? You missed the noise and the smells and the sensations and the screams. Some of the screams came from me. And you could turn the channel. There was no off switch on our reality, it just kept going. And it still does.
Would you like to meet my friends from Cantor-Fitzgerald? It'll be a one-sided conversation--they're dead. How about Rick Rescorla? He was security for Morgan Stanley. A wonderful, gentle man--actually from western england. Gave briefings to new nitwit interns. They never found a single bit of him. Nothing. They didn't find anything from a lot of people. God, I could go on for hours.
Isn't it great to sit here and type things and express your armchair interpretation of international politics? Cheers to you. But my arrogance? Countries that would have stabilized themselves? That statement in itself is one of ignorance. Walk with me through the Eastern Kush and see what the people there say of country. Astonishingly beautiful people, but speak of country and they look at you like you're from mars. It is family and tribe and clan. Small, fractured ethnicities that kill each other over a goat right of way.
I carry passports of two countries. I could have three but I'm told it would jeopardize my licenses. I've lived in several countries and have traveled all over the world, and the one thing I do know is that I know very little. I don't know what the answer is, and I am a lot smarter than you.
You don't know me at all. You don't know anything about me. Don't bear witness to that which you have not seen.
Most of my comments here are vapid, empty wit. Because, quite frankly, I think that's what a vapid, shallow person like you deserves. But here I am in full. Today I don't care what you think. Today I don't care what you say. And today I don't care about you.
A MUST READ ARTICLE....

well, he was an enemy of the US, so it's normal to feel happy. however, it doesn't mean the world will be safer, or the war between the US and the middle east will be over.
Yeah, it's normal to feel happy that he's dead. I think it also gives the family members of 9/11 victims a little closure. Everyone is on high alert now, because they're worried about retaliation. So I think it's pretty normal that you're worried. I am too.
"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that." - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Side note - ROFL when the reporters accidentally refer to him as Obama instead of Osama.
Way to go Seals!
And way to go GW. We would never have gotten Osama if you had just sat down and done nothing after 911.
U guys notice the announced his death on the same day as hitlers?? Sounds like intelligence agencies may be hiding something..
It's probably normal for you to be happy, yes. I suspect a lot of people are.
I don't know how I feel. Something has to be very important to make me think this hard, and debate with myself internally for so long. It's too complicated an issue for me to make a value judgement yet.
osama ben laden is dead.... so what lol he got a whole crew backing him up hes just a symbol, not terrorism itself
Yes! Now we can finally carry full sized shampoo bottles on the planes! Not to mention more people will be looking for Waldo again
I think it is great that 911 families can have a sense of closure. However, I feel it is an unfortunate world we live in that it has to come to this. He is just one of the many evils in this world. While there is a sense of relief, we should not be foolish to believe that the we will not see another rise to take his place. Death is not a celebratory event, but rather an unfortunate side effect of war. It is the necessary measures that sometimes have to be taken to control an otherwise uncontrollable threat. Fighting fire with fire technique.
Someone else will take his place and did you ever think they might do something even worse for revenge?
Hell yeah it's normal. I'm not usually in favor of killing criminals, but this guy planned out 9/11. We can't take any risks.
I think it's terrible to celebrate the fact that someone died in a hateful way. Even if you hate that person, you should at least show some respect.
I'm so happy too! I was just telling my sister that we should throw a party to celebrate!
