The figurative (and actually *typed*) chants of U-S-A, U-S-A! on my Facebook news feed is disgusting me. Otherwise perfectly rational people are crying with joy

I'm pretty much with you on this one. People act as if this is actually going to change something, but these wars stopped being about bin Landen (as if they ever were in the first place!) ages ago.
It's kind of weird to see who amongst my friends are getting so pumped about it, too. I'm seeing a lot of "Proud to be an American today!" type things, and I just don't get it.
I have to take the Child to school, otherwise I'd expound upon this more, but you can probably extrapolate what I'd say pretty easily... Oh well, as another friend said, "Aw, let people be happy he's dead." So, OK, people, be happy. Just stop the chest-pounding, please.
Yep to all of this. He's dead, it would be good to see the body, and people need to get some perspective. Relieved is something I can understand. Celebrating any death? Just icky.
Yeah, I pretty much agree with this. I didn't hear about it till this morning, and my feeling was, "Well, good that he's dead, although I don't think assassination is a policy I stand behind." And that was it. It didn't give me closure, I think the long-term repercussions have been awful and that his death won't change that, and definitely there will be conspiracy theories (although evidence would quash some, there will always be loonies who ignore evidence).
