Okay here's my opinion on the matter: I don't blame them for celebrating and I won't hold it against people. I say, let them celebrate, let them be patriotic. I say, let them have this moment. I've heard back home that several of the firefighters I know who were there on 9/11 were celebrating. Who am I to tell them that it's wrong to celebrate? And this is an important moment yet some people are acting like it isn't. The most wanted man in the world, who caused unspeakable crimes upon this nation is dead. I couldn't care less about the effects right now.
There are people that will celebrate a death like this not only because they truly believe it's over, but because they want to think the positive way on the matter. Why not be naive for now? They want to believe that things will be better. It may not be justice in everyone's eyes, but it's justice is in theirs. What am I trying to say, is let the people who celebrate have their happiness. Let them have their happiness, as people struggle to obtain that happiness during their daily lives as people struggle everyday. It's not hurting anyone, well except for what Aesop said (that mentality is disappointing). If anything giving hope to this country is what we need now, even if it is false pretenses, which it may not be. There could be a domino effect as we cut off the head of Al Qaeda. We don't know what will happen to them now. Terrorism won't be over, but this is a victory for not only the US, but the world too. People say that this won't be a turning point, and even while I would agree with them, it possibly could be a turning point.
And to be honest, after I found out the news, and after I broke down about it and mourned all of those deaths from 9/11 and the other deaths that he caused, I went and put on America f**k yeah. I'm not saying that everyone should celebrate, and that they should be cheering on the madman's death. I'm not trying to force anyone to do against their personal beliefs. But what I'm saying is, I don't think they should be pissed or offended that others are celebrating a guy who's killed many people, caused years and years of grief, pain and suffering along this nation among others. And lets not forget how much this one man changed this nation into what it is today, in which a person on a plain struggles to even bring a water bottle or tooth paste on board a plane. He brought this nation to their knees, to a level of sadness not felt since Pearl Harbor, if not ever. This guy was too dangerous to be taken alive, and I believe that they had to kill him.
And about retaliation of his people: if anything I suggest that things would say the same here. Al Qaeda was trying to blow up when he was alive, so what would be different if he dead other than the fact the possibly they could be a bit more disorganized.
