    Thanks for the sacrifices you and all our military members make and have made in the past.

    May 1st is certainly a great day for celebration in your family.

    Watching the news report this was pretty funny. I was flipping back and forth between Fox and CNN, both reporters were so excited they kept mumbling and studdering. They would cut off people in mid sentence - with new information. But the best was how hard they were trying to find the right words WITHOUT a teleprompter.

    I'm not sure how I feel about this. I don't think I'm going to celebrate, as the taking of a life, regardless of necessity, is no cause for joy for me. I am relieved that he is no longer a threat, but I am seriously concerned that all of this celebration will only serve to martyr him, and serve as a springboard for even more egregious acts of violence from Al Q'aeda and similar extremist groups. The best course of action would have been to remove him quietly, and let his legacy be one of obscurity.

    I think the families and friends of everyone who lost their life on Sept 11th deserve a little bit more then being left in the dark about the death of Osama.

    Choose to celebrate or not, making the news public is mandatory in my opinion.

    As much as I agree with you about a lot of the unnecessary celebration. The news needed to be let out that he was gone.

    He will be a martyr either way, so it needed to be shown that the US will see through with its mission.
    Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
    Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
    Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.

    I don't think it would matter much if we celebrated or not. These people are going to continue their activities regardless of what we do. While I see your point and it is an excellent one, forgetting the past will open us up to future issues. "Those that cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." If the actions of Osama and his followers were forgotten and burried, then those that died for that cause would be forgotten and that can't happen. Many lives have been sacrificed for the fight against terrorism and I believe that it's going to go on for a long time. If we can protect the many with the lives of a few then I think it is justified.

    While we shouldn't necessarily celebrate his death but celebrate that those that have died because of him have been avenged. His death doesn't equal the countless numbers that have died in search of him but it shows the kind of people that Americans are. I love the freedoms that I have and is unfortunete that we live in a world were those freedoms have to be protected from others, but that is the way it is for now.

    There should be a world wide toast for getting rid of another douche...

    Sad part is, Obama is taking credit. He did nothing....just happens to be the President at the time. Bush is the one that sent troops, if it would have been Obama the dude would of did nothing.

    I'm not going to lie, I am glad he's dead. I'm not out dancing in the streets, however I consider the celebrations as much about the symbolism of his death and what it represents as anything else.

    The fact is it doesn't take much to motivate terrorists, and they will always find some reason to justify their actions. That does not mean we shouldn't have gone after him, and even if a new terrorist leader does spring up, Osama was unique in his capabilities. He was incredibly intelligent in his own right, much like Hitler was, and people like that are fortunately few and far between.

    The world will have another Osama one day, and I have no doubt there will be some Al Qaeda reprisals going on somewhere at least for a short while, but this needed to happen. I also think quietly making him disappear would have been wrong - he's been quietly invisible for two decades, except when he is making a statement or killing people. His death was broadcast far and wide for good reason.

    He's not "taking" credit. The news organizations are giving it to him. What statement did he make that gave HIM credit for it all?

    Re: Osama dead?

    I think you have to tell the world that he is dead and have proof (DNA testing) that the US killed him. If we didn't AlQuida and other terrorist groups would say it's just a ploy as part of an information operation against them.
    Also, it give "some" closure to those families that lost friends/families on 9-11-01.

    My last deployment (200 I ran a detention facility in Baghdad and i know that there is a major facility in Bagram, Astan. I wonder what the mood/feel within the facility is with the detainees. Will they riot, or has the face of their leader dying crushed their will to fight anymore???

    Maybe you didn't see this?

    Modette99 is really off base though. Republic or Democrat any president would have sought justice for the 9/11 attacks. Unfounded opinions should be left to Fox News.

    y'know the gov't never tells the public the whole. Just feeds us what they think we need to know. Hopefully this will be a dominoe effect for the good.
