Agreed. Dancing on a enemy's grave is something the bad guys do.

Sometimes, when life is very stressful, a little cheery news gets people swelling into the streets not from schadenfreude, but to celebrate the brief respite from despair.

Something else they do: fly planes into buildings.

Orly Taitz announced she wants proof. And seeing OBL's dead body isn't going to be good enough.

Exactly! Wish we did neither.

My thoughts as well. It reminded me of the many scenes of those celebrating in the streets in other countries when the towers came down.

While I'm pleased that this has seen a fitting "end", I'm not nearly as exuberant as others.
I feel the same way. While I'm glad that he's dead, I wouldn't be celebrating in the streets right now. Our enemies did that when the towers came down, and we're better than that. The U.S. is NOT "eye for an eye", or at least we should be.

Yeah, who needs context? Or complete quotes?

Ooops, I edited that last one incorrectly. Should say "shouldn't be". That's what I get for writing at 3AM...
