My opinion on this is as follows.
He was an evil man and I'm glad he is no longer alive. That being said I do not feel right celebrating his, or any death.
Heraldo Rivera turned my stomach when he was making the announcement with his glee at the death. Watching Americans chant usa and go out in the streets just like people in muslim countries did after 9/11 dissapointed me.
Glad he is gone, don't think it should be celebrated.
"That being said I do not feel right celebrating his, or any death."
Very close to the way I felt...but Prager hit a chord with me. He said that some deaths make the world better.
He went on to state that pacificism is actually immoral, as it tends to increase evil in the world.
Still thinking about that.
That was my "glad he is dead" part because I know the world is better off without a murderer like him around.
I think its fine to be happy with him not being around I just dont think celebrating it is right.
Should Americans have taken to the streets to celebrate the end of World War II?
This is a war that is not against a country so there will never be a surrender or a clear end.

So, if President Jimmy Carter were to pass on, would it be inappropriate for Jewish folk to dance in the streets and hand out candy?

Yesterday Grav posted pics of young Muslim-Americans waving American flags and celebrating OBL's assuming room temperature....
...I think there will be an end to this.
Some day.
I'm not too happy about the fact that they disposed of the body so soon...just because it's some Islamic law??? So what! Did they care about how 3000 people were buried on 9/11? I understand why they buried him at sea...we don't need his followers building a shrine to him.
But, i was also a little disgusted with the cheering and celebrations going on when they announced he was killed. It was wonderful news to finally get rid of this person, families can now maybe have some peace. But watching people celebrate like they did reminded me of the news reports just after 9/11 where the people in the middle east celebrated...they were so excited about all the deaths! Ok...feel good that the man is gone, thank the Military for all their effort...thank the president for giving the order...(then watch out for the retaliation coming!!), but it's nothing to have a party about!
If people want to celebrate that this clown is dead, thats their right, just like the morons who danced in the streets when 9/11 happened.
I never said they didn't have a right to do it, but it's also my right to disagree with it.
I have had mixed emotions on this. There have been few things that have happened in this country that have made me as angry as 9/11. And I do believe that those who do evil must be held responsible and accountable including whatever punishment is appropriate. What Osama bin Laden has done is certainly worthy of the death penalty. Knowing that his evil was removed from the earth felt very right.
But then I think of the disgust and anger I feel at people who rejoice at death of Americans and how revolting their celebrations in the street appear to me.
And I look at celebrations in the street in the USA at the death of Osama bin Laden, and wonder how that is any different.
There are some very wise people that post here at usmb.

Thank you for expressing what I was feeling - you are not the only one disturbed by the celebrations.
Now if they had done that when they allegedly first knew where he was, they knew the exact cave where he was in 2002, I may have felt different. But President Bush lost interest in finding him by then.
And now, it's 2011. That is the way I feel now.
Knocking on Osama's Cave Door (Washington Post)
I have to say, I'm sort of appalled by how unhinged the left is by Osama's death.
I don't see his death as a cause for jubilation. For one thing, I'm not one of the retards who thinks that Osama was our primary threat. He's one of MANY, and taking him out at this point isn't going to make much of a difference. I think radical Islam knew he was on borrowed time a long time ago, and subsequently many others stepped up to the plate to take his place so that when the inevitable happened, it would make no difference to them.
We didn't take him out because he is a threat
We took him out because he is a mass murderer
Yep.I am celebrating and I could give a rats ass what anyone else thinks.

We could tell it upset you.
Me? I am DELIGHTED by his death. People don't like that? Too bad. You guys can mourn all you like....just keep the wailing and knashing of teeth down to a dull roar.
