A quick thought
"Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, And do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles" - Proverbs 24:17
I understand why people went to the streets to celebrate Bin Laden's death, I truly do, but do any of you recall the supporters of Bin Laden going to the streets to celebrate the deaths of 9-11? What is the difference between us now? I am glad the evil of Bin Laden is off this earth, but as a country, we scream to anyone that listens that we are a civilized, christian type people, what I saw last night, not so much.
Celebrate his death, wave your American flag and chant USA USA, but when you are doing that, remember those who hate us have TV's also and with every wave of our flag, you are fanning a growing fire.
Thank you to the brave men and woman of the military, thank you to President Bush for setting this in place and President Obama for continuing this fight, this had to happen and hopefully we are closer now to ending this war and bringing the brave soldiers home.
While I understand and agree with what you're saying, there is one distinct difference. They were celebrating the deaths of innocents. WE are "celebrating" the death of the person responsible for the deaths of innocents.
