So naive uneducated and plain retarded.

Its baffling how ignorant many Americans are to the reality of the world how easy they are to manipulate and how often they are them selfs everything they profess to hate.

awesome. I'm so happy for you, America. don't pull out just yet, Obama - you're finally winning the war on terror. yay

as happy as I am that Bin Laden is fucking dead already, this sort of behaviour from americans is kinda awful.

chanting on the streets over death and destruction is terrible to say the least, and it being done in the US, is even worse IMO. (I even saw footage of people burning pictures of bin laden. does that ring a bell?)

edit: oh, and public displays of singing anthems is ever more pathetic to me (be it americans or any other nationality, mine included. Guess what, people singing the anthem so proud of yourselves... You had exactly NOTHING to do with the decision of where you we were going to be born. Falling out of your mother's vagina in a particular geographic location makes you exactly the same as everyone else in every other country).

While I would not choose to phrase it that way, I agree with you in principle, westy. The big fear (which is hopefully not SIMPLY CONFIRMED by this SINGLE video) is that American will take this death as some major american triumph, when, in fact, this triumph can really only be located LARGELY on a symbolic level, and LARGELY in relation to a certain misrecognized reality on the part of the us state and its subjects.

We would do well to remember that Bin Laden made a hell out of many other people's lives before sept. 11th, and touched many other nations. This is NOT just an american triumph... many people are still picking up the pieces of their lives and countries as a result of the MISGUIDED american reaction to the attacks of sept. 11th, so they haven't really had the time or energy to even THINK about osama bin laden.

So, basically, I would have liked Obama to come out and point out all the FALSE POSITIVES: the deaths that were a result of America THINKING they were reacting to 9/11, but were, in fact, just carrying out acts of displaced violence. Bin Laden died MANY TIMES, it seems, because is image is so over-determined... the scope of his power and influence so shady... and he will die many MORE times if this absurd war on terrorism is allowed to operate as a seal over any more acts of military aggression around the world. This death is still just a symptom of the larger "war on terrorism," which will ALWAYS be imbalanced, confusing, and chaotic by its very nature. THat's how terrorism (and the reactions to it) operates.

We Americans might keep in mind that this death ALSO signals the end of the road for a giant beast that has gotten so big (its vision foggy from the steroids) in its rabid hunt for a little fox, that when it finally caught up to the small pathetic animal and ripped it to shreds, the beast is going to have to check into some kind of clinic to remember who it even is, or where it came from.

They did lose a few thousand people and a couple of tall buildings. I think this gives them the right to gather and sing and do whatever they need to do to mark closure of an issue that is deeply personal to them.

Could anybody do a montage including this video and videos of muslim folks chanting and burning flags and this kind of truly patriotic and honorable behaviour? What exactly was the percentage of religulous (p.i.) people in the US again, just asking?!

A minute of silence in honor of the dead people of any race or religion caused by this war against terror / for oil / to show everybody who got the largest stick would have been a MUCH better idea.

And please, this is obviously *terrible

That would be the case if this event did offer closure but it dos not at all in the slightest. 911 was used as a tool for the american right + military industry. to expand its activities that were the route cause for 911 in the first place bin laden and the actual 3k deaths caused by the planes on 911 are totally negligible compared to the harm the us government inflicts on its own people and people around the world .



true closure would come in the form of america making changes to its foreign policy maybe america reducing its dependency on foreign oil ( although thats not the sole motivation i don't think for what happed after 911)

People should be out in the streets celerbraiting when an event happens that actually signals a tangibal benefit to mankind or a benefit to there individual lives. people who think binladan being dead is going to have a benefit to them in terms of national security or there day to day activities are deluded.

These people in the street seem to think binladan is some sort of commander and chief Hitler type but he is not at all.

people just need to educate them selfs and wealth needs to be evenly spred so they can do that.
