They are very happy the pilots are dead, but they didn't celebrate because thousands of americans died that day.. is it that hard to understand ? Osama Bin Laden wasn't an innocent guy like you try to describe him, he's responsible for the deaths of thousands(he's the mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks). we can apply your logic to Hitler as well, why did you kill Hitler he never physically killed anyone.. ? ARE YOU FOR REAL?
Passive resistance movements like those of Ghandi and King work great when standing up to an enemy that is subject to political or outside military pressure resulting from your movement. When your enemy is not bound by such pressures or morals/scruples, it usually doesn't work out to hot. Ask the Jews of Nazi Germany, the Tibetans, or the Libyan or Iranian protesters. In those cases perhaps the words of Patton are more applicable. You don't win a war by dying for your country. You win it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his. - Gen. George S. Patton (paraphrased)
He is probably just another idiot that hates the US so he is trying to get in on the shit talking to Americans any chance he gets. No matter how stupid his question is.
Another quote that comes to mind as applicable... Attributed (correctly or not) to Gen Norman Schwartzkopf.... "I believe that forgiving them is God's function. Ours is to arrange the meeting."
No it is not he admitted it and took full responsibility! Seriously man where have you been the last 10 years? Do you or did you like Osama? Answer that for real.
LMAO! Whoever gave me neg rep, well tried to, and called me a jackass, you don't have enough rep to take any away. It didn't even take a point away. You are in fact the jackass! LMFAO @ U! And thanks for all the positive Rep I have received. You all know who you are. =)
Well he was and admitted it and was proud of it. Read a little next time before talking crap you don't know about. That's probably why you have red reputation.
No offense but I can't understand why the average American is so happy about the death of Osama. (At least that's the impression I have.) What's the impact? Do you feel more secure now? I doubt it. I am not talking about general revenge, justice etc. but rather on a personal level. Sure, I'd probably join the masses if I'd live in D.C. but is there a reason to be truly happy?
Hard to believe what's going on, prince William got married on Friday to Kate Middleton but Friday night their honeymoon was postponed till a later date, why do you think it was postponed?
Yes there is. He finally got what he deserved. He killed a bunch of people he don't deserve to live. He needed to be killed just like the people he killed. Americans have been waiting a long time. Now it has finally happened and we are happy about it. If you would have lost a family member you would be happy too.
Again, it's debatable, please don't think you know it all. I have a red reputation because certain individuals want me to stop exposing lies.
To be fair, I never felt insecure in the first place. I flew on Sept 13th 2001 and I felt more secure than ever before, knowing that any asshole who tries to hijack a plane with a fake bomb (or a real one) was going to get the beatdown of his life by 120 angry passengers. I'd feel a lot more secure if they let passengers carry guns. I also don't worry about trains, car bombs, etc. Your far more likely to die from having to get off the freeway in South Central Los Angeles looking for a gas station. Personally, I'm happy hes dead because he was a well financed, intelligent, figure head of a worldwide terrorist organization. His death has symbolic value(like the twin towers) if nothing else, though more than likely, Al Queda has been dealt a real blow. I'll probably be equally happy when Fidel Castro dies, the dissidents get released, and I can go to Cuba.
Solar_products: Technically you have a red rep because the majority think your posts indicate you're a knuckle dragging racist asshole. Fwiw. ==== Back on quotes that apply, since some mentioned how long OBL evaded capture... unofficial motto of the Navy SEALS: " Don't bother running... you'll just die tired."
Obama's response was reasonable and balanced, the American public's response however is idiotic to say the least, like I said I can't understand it and being from another country makes no difference as many American's are saying the same thing (even in this thread). Of course you and others have the right to be as idiotic as you like, nobody is stopping that, however is my right to say how idiotic it is.
