replace Saddam with Osama, and replace the Shias with Americans. The amount of celebration and gloating is no different than when saddam was hung. I prefer to celebrate life rather than death.

I had some discomfort with the way Saddam was paraded and executed in a 'trial,' but for Osama, who was responsible for the deaths of 5,000-plus American civilians, so be it.
Taking Osama down feels more personal to me, and one shouldn't blame Americans for feeling vindicated.
