Bin Laden is dead

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that

This is what I was thinking. When I see the crowds of American rejoicing, I think about all those images of Middle Eastern citizens rejoicing when their groups achieve a "victory". The mirror images make me shiver.

Yes, I don't think the Americans actually realize how similar these scenes look.
