AM I THE ONLY ONE

Even angels celebrate when a demon dies, why shouldnt these sheeple celebrate the "death" of osama? Nothing personal regarding the celebrations but a mere sigh of relief and some people these days will celebrate for anything.

So simply by witnessing, being part of a "death" of this magnitude does, to an extent require ancient ritual-type celebrations in my opinoon. I mean, thats the whole scheme behind it, that everyone is supposed to be happy, excited therefore creating a positive energy about not only America but more importantly Obama. Hey it was a BS call, and im not even a conspiracy theorist, however any man with a brain knows Osama was just a boogey man created by these grimy politicians to attack in the middle east.

The west is dictated by media perpertualizd by its government. The fact is ,we are living in the most decievable and stupid society ever and these mindless sheeple will eat anything spoon fed to them. A two faced society, where real things happen and where we are told things is happening. Where people are too stupid to use their own brains, and lying backstabbing politicians bankiing on it.

So let the lemmings celebrate all they want. Osama wasnt even in the air waves during the obama administration (was he now?), and as soon as these grimey politicians need something done, they will create another boogey man, maybe even more "fearsome" than osama. No problems.

Go to bed.

 

I agree. Killing someone is not something to celebrate.

 

How dare they!! (and they were smiling and hugging, too!)



Will one of you scared/angry/upset naysayers please tell the one NYFD to DROP his arms! Thanks!

 

I'm just shocked people are comparing Osama to Hitler who was one of the most important people ever.

 

All I can say is wow. This has been some.....uh......debate. lol

 

Once they start doing this....its pointless to continue the argument.



















MY parents didn't own slaves...I'm not a racist.......so what's the big deal anyway.

 

This.....

 

Hey Ymra, check this out:





hahahahahahaha :smt043

 

??

 

These were some of the rioters that were celebrating. Perhaps, this is an inappropriate way of celebrating. The ones in DC (near the White House) that celebrated did it in a much more professional manner. So, I would say it depends on who's celebrating and where it's taking place.

 

stop dude.

 

Ok, fam.

 

Holy good, Goddess, really? Like I wasn't alive to witness what happened?! And no...I was never happy about people celebrating anyone's death. I think it should done, and it should be a quiet moment. That's it. Celebrating death is never acceptable. Bringing Hitler into it, I'm sorry, isn't even a comparison.

And no, I never worried about my safety until today. I travel overseas at least once each year. Our asses are all on the line now- ESPECIALLY after dancing in the streets.

Really, you two? Osama bin Laden was no longer a known head of al Quaeda... we haven't heard a peep from him in ages. The Muslims didn't even like him once he started killing his own. That man was on the way out- all he was anymore was a huge target and a big name. He was no longer the 'main man' so to speak. al Quaeda isn't even that powerful anymore...if anything, it has transformed into an underground organization so unrecognizable that you wouldn't even know the head of it.

I don't see him dancing, do you? No. Raise your arms all you want... pump a fist in the air...but dancing in the streets, celebrating like someone just won the World Cup? Have some class and self-respect. After all, aren't we Americans?

Here, everyone should see this:

Keith Olbermann: A special comment on the death of Osama bin Laden

 

Al Qaeda No.2 Zawahri most likely to succeed bin Laden

ISLAMABAD | Mon May 2, 2011 12:48am EDT

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Egyptian-born doctor and surgeon Ayman al-Zawahri is al Qaeda's second-in-command expected to succeed Osama bin Laden following his killing in a firefight with U.S. forces in Pakistan.

The driving force here is what Osama bin Laden represented in the eyes of people, the idea of Al Qaeda, its top figurehead.

Walking in the sands of Afghanistan
Carrying AK-47's and riding on horseback
Seeing himself as a Mujahideen warrior fighting the infidels
He for years taunted the United States of America with violence, bravado and continual threats.

So as he met his demise after years of perpetrating violence, some individuals broke out into spontaneous celebrations at the end of him.

No one should be under the illusion this is the end of terrorism, of course not. Few would be this naive if they know history.

Osama bin Laden is an exception folks, not the rule. There are many terrorists that have been killed and no one celebrated because they didn't have the same level of notoriety. Osama bin Laden's name became synonymous with international terrorism.

No one celebrated when Saddam Hussein was killed, no one celebrated when Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was killed or the countless others involved in terrorism.

I think we need to keep perspective here of why this happened. Not the death of every terrorist is celebrated publicly. Osama bin Laden's case was the exception, not the rule and we ought to keep that in mind.

If Americans want to let off some steam for a day over the demise of a person who spearheaded the attacks on American soil then let them for that limited time period. It has already subsided anyway. Thus the society we live in today, short attention spans.

As for Osama bin Laden all I can say is go to hell, hope he finds his virgins there as promised.

 

You get it! :smt038:smt038:smt038

 

Good, he ought to be the next one to be taken out.

To give an idea if he was to be killed tomorrow no one would take to the streets celebrating because he doesn't carry the same notoriety that Osama bin Laden did.

Things are always relative, few absolutes in life.

 

Again, you get it.

 

Whenever you thought Al Qaeda, you thought Osama bin Laden. Whenever you thought international terrorism, you thought Osama bin Laden. When you think of September 11th Osama bin Laden.

The mastermind and spearhead of these events. Sure there are many other figures involved but Osama bin Laden was the caricature of terrorism.

He put himself out there as the acknowledged leader of Al Qaeda and speaking to the demise of America at every turn.

No doubt the U.S helped create this monster from the days of the "Bear Trap" of the Mujahideen fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan, now they have put him down.

 

I have observed with deep fascination how Obama, in spite of the perception in some sections of American society came out of humour fest and ordered the killing of a terrorist, cold turkey and without blinkers. I guess he must have ruminated deeply on this issue before proceeding. I guess he weighed the odds against the benefits.

Let us take a trip for example to pre-9/11 era. Let us ponder on how the world has changed since that event. The many rights of everyone, even Americans that have been extinguished all in the name of national security. The racial stereotyping that has come into our imagining because of the acts of terrorists, who in reality do not represent the majority of human beings that populate the middle east or practicing muslims.If there is anything,the democratic uprising in the middle east gives us a window to how human beings are really alike.

Celebrating and pursuing the ideals of humanity is not just an American ideal, it is the ideal for the rest of the world. Osama Bin Laden death is an incidental cost, in my opinion, to the higher cause of morality , and the celebration should not be confused with hate, immorality, but rather as sigh of relief to an ultimate winding closure to a stormy weather of terror that has persisted since the towers came crashing down.

In economic cost, in human cost, the terrorist enterprise founded by Bin Laden has had terrible consequences on the world, not just America. It reverberated in London, Spain and in Kenya. Iraq also became a killing field.

Why shouldn't people rejoice over the end of a nightmare? I am not hearing any noise from Pakistan that seems to have finally caved in to the shame of dubious nation and corrupt national leaders. It allowed her sovereignty to be messed with because it was never a true ally in the so called war on terrorism.

I think your president, Obama, has a center made of steel when it comes to making tough and important decisions. He has chosen to dispose of Osama in a fashion that would not allow many polarizing debates that could have paralyzed action if his issue had become a public spectacle. For once, in almost then years, many folks around the world would sleep easy. I think in some way it is this celebration of greater substance in his death that has made some people rejoice and take to the streets.

They did not shout death to muslims, they did not shout death to Arabs, they did not single out a single country to caricature. They celebrated the death of a terrorist. I don't think a terrorist should be granted the human values he never granted others. It is the balance of the greater good against the defence of a notional principle that does not serve purpose in an emergency situation when many rights have been extinguished left, right, and center all in the name of national security and the defence of the homeland.
