I will not celebrate his death, however some people being gone from the world is a very good thing. I have a quote that sums it up. "I've never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure." - Mark Twain While he killed thousands of people, and was one of the worst men who ever lived, you shouldn't celebrate.. Exactly. I'm sure the world's a better place without him, but that doesn't mean we should celebrate his death.

"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 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." - Martin Luther King, Jr. ALSO: dft.ba/-oKv

I have a, hopefully erroneous, feeling that this will not end well.

I guess I agree with Dan..
I think we can joke about bin Laden's death only because he was such a terrible person..
However, celebrating his death.. Hmm.. I dunno...

Okay, now for my take:
Make no mistake, I think he was one of the worst people to have ever crawled up out of the bowels of this planet's filth -- and I believe the world is better off without him.
But I can't necessarily say I'm happy he's dead. I'd be much happier if he was rotting in a prison cell for the rest of his miserable existence.

Osama bin Laden is responsible for the deaths of about 3000 people, and the injury of 6000 more American people.
The war that it caused is responsible for $656 billion dollars of our nations debt, 4287 American deaths, 30000 Americans injured, and the death of 92000 civilians (quite possibly much more).
Yes this man was terrible. And yes he did deserve to die. But because of the reaction of the United States - the world has lost far more people than necessary, and there has been far too much death.
We should not rejoice this. Yes there should be a sense of relief associated with it, for an evil man who corrupted hundreds if not thousands to follow his viewpoint is dead and can no longer teach evil ways. But how much of a bad guy is he compared to us?
Bin Laden is responsible for the death of 3000 The US is responsible for the death of 96000
He may be dead but if our mindset continues like this, he also won.

sources for your figures please and bin laden is responsible for the deaths of 3000 in one day. hes been a terrorist for QUITE a bit longer than one day teh american deaths and injuries are figures from a voluntary army...voluntary. ill say it again in case you didnt understand...voluntary. so please leave those figures out. as for civillian casualties, i know there are those that would call for a complete end to all war whether or not the world is ready for it...but that is the nature of war...collateral damage. not the intentional and systematic killing of a countries civillians for teh sake of instilling terror. 656 billion is a small part of our massive national debt...dont sweat it so much. our mindset in pursuing and ultimately killing that menace was the end of terrorism. now we may not have accomplished that in killing one man, but we DID send a clear message. you commit terror? we will kill you. you hide? well find you. now i know theyre suicidal anyway...but perhaps they may give one seconds pause. so explain again..how did he win? we are now united as a nation under the banner of antiterror...how did he win? we rejoice in his death how did he win? because how are we different? is that why? what separates us from the enemy we so detest? the fact that we celebrate the death of a mass murdering psychopath and not the deaths of innocent people. no one celebrates when civillians are claimed as casualties of war in foreign countries we fight and fought in. we Do celebrate when terrorists are killed. as we should. so if you cant see a distinction...get your head out of your ass. oh...and lightsider...youre a wonderful little sheep

I like how Tyler O put it:
"The world should celebrate when an evil man sees the error in his ways, not when he's killed while proud of what he's done."

Ready for some Christian perspective?
Proverbs 11:10 NKJV "When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices, And when the wicked perish, there is joyful shouting."
Proverbs 24:17-18 NKJV "Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, And do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles; 18 Lest the LORD see it, and it displease Him, And He turn away His wrath from him."

He said no (well guns did most of the talking). We were supposed to keep giving him chances? What if we never found him again. Also yes I moved a bit off topic with that

missing the point... v_v
The whole attitude of most people is like "Yea! we showed him!" when really its all sort of pointless. Nothing changed, all we did is kill him. Yea its a solution to the problem of the influence that man had on the people that followed him, but doesn't seem like a solution worth celebrating.
I'm not saying he didn't deserve to die, he did. It just feels like adding more bodies to the pile of death, and I don't mean his, but those of the misled people who still follow his teachings and those who'll die protecting our nations. To me the time of celebration will come when both sides regard every one as human with inherent rights.
