It's better for the world that he's gone, but the thought of celebrating that fact is not one that sits easy with me. It's not as if it ends anything, other than one man's life. Now the infighting starts.

Meanwhile, I'm powerfully glad that my office has its TVs set to CNBC, because CNBC is even more het up about Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway, and considering that we're surrounded by FOX types I'll take Warren Buffett news instead any day of the week.

I didn't think the celebration was a good thing when I read about it this morning. I understand the soldiers' families and the families of the 9/11 victims needing to celebrate, but the mass partying in Times Square and in front of the White House...not really called for. This may just make things worse.

Considering how upset and disgusted people got when the news showed impromptu public celebrations in other countries following 11 September and other terrorist attacks...yeah. I wish the police had clamped down on it sooner.

It's disgusting and uncivilized. Not to mention pointless. Do people think all terrorism will end with the death of one man?

With the death of one man who the United States initially created, no less.

I can't bring myself to be sad that he's dead, though I'm disappointed he wasn't brought back alive. I certainly can't cheer anyone's death, no matter how evil.

But the real question is, do we think the United States will learn from our role in his story? (The answer... is unfortunately "probably not".)

I am so with you on this. I'm relieved, but I don't feel jubilant about a murder, even a necessary one.

On an unrelated note, I like your icon! I've seen the picture it was cropped from and BABY JUMPING SPIDERS ARE ADORABLE <3

Rush Limbaugh actually praised Obama on his show today. (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/05/02/limbaugh-thank-god-obama-bin-laden_n_856425.html) Did I get sent to Bizarro World when I wasn't paying attention?
