You know what pisses me off? People complaining/downplaying the death of Osama Bin Laden. Alright, first we need to divide the categories of people pissing me off into two groups. We've got the Debby Downers, who are all like "Well, this won't do anything for the overall war effort. He was just a figurehead/just one person, it doesn't matter." Really? Considering he was one of the main architects of a terrorist attack that took out a whole bunch of people on US soil, who's to say he couldn't plan something of that magnitude again? Shit, even if it doesn't help in the greater scheme of things, we killed someone who took the lives of thousands of innocent people, including Muslims, all under the idea that he was doing it and following his own religion. That brings me to my next group of people, those who are like "Well we shouldn't celebrate the death of anyone." You know what? Yeah we should. Get off your moral high horse and come back to reality. Why would you not celebrate the death of a murderer/terrorist/brainwasher/religious criminal? It did no one any favor to have someone like that walking the earth. This has nothing to do with patriotism, just acceptance of logic.Also, 'merica.
I think we are all entitled to our own opinions. With that being said, you are most certainly entitled to yours. However, I happen to be one of those people who doesn't feel that it's right to celebrate the death of a person, no matter who they are. Yes, he did terrible things. And of course they were not okay by any means. I think it is sad, however, that this man never truly knew the God he claimed he did. If he had, then he wouldn't have taken the lives of so many innocent people. The man may not deserve pity, but I personally will not be shouting in victory over his death. That's just my outlook.

I think this is one of those things that wont take very long to blow over.
