Give the Americans a break.....
They've put up with TV footage of wide eyed middle eastern pistol wavers dancing with utter glee at every opportunity they could at America's expense .
I too was initially unsure of the young inebriated revellers dancing in the street but what the hell if we had suffered nigh on 3000 dead on 7/7 I think we'd have had a little cheer too......

fair point, but its not going to play well in downtown Kabul, Tripoli, Baghdad, etc

It was only a matter of time before this was up.

there is a rule for govts (and also in politics)  you want to survive , create an enemy!!

last 20 years has passed with the tales from presidents starting with Saddam

now Obama trying to guarantee the elections, according to news (which I dobelieve is longer) they knew the place from the last summer.. but waited for elections to be close and the event to be "fresh"..

Very true Cem. Bin laden was actually a very very nice man. Those evil yanks just tried to convince us all that he was rather unpleasant so they could take over the world.

Albs, I'm afraid, middle east is full of people who hate yanks and have the potential to be a terrorist when they find a chance..  so burning a single straw do not solve the problem where there is a barn full of

if you dont "dry the swamp" things will never change!!

and if you want to "dry the swamp", first change how you think and second your behaviours , which is impossible for yanks

Maybe it's not the "Yanks" that need to change how they think and behave...

Yes, I'm inclined to agree cem - there is no doubt in my mind that the Obama administration will attempt to make political capital from this, it's the name of the game after all although I doubt that it was totally engineered for naked political purposes.

I also agree that most political systems seem to need a bogey-man help maintain and justify their time in office.

Insofar as Bin Laden is concerned he was created by default (as far as I can see) as a result of the foreign policy of the United States and by the domestic actions of those countries in the region which courted Western interests to help maintain their own powerbases.

I make Cem right, we in the west need to look ourselves in the mirror and ask if we brought this on ourselves in part? Dont fund terrorism when it suits and condemn it when it doesnt. Dont retaliate for the murder of 3000 innocents with the murder of 100000 innocents - we make ourselves very easy to hate - democracy for all, unless you have oil and the brutish dictatorship we're propping up feeds our habit. Very easy to hate. Dont make it a war of good vs bad, christian vs muslim as the ludicrous retarded cowboy tried to. Killing Bin Laden will do nothing to alter the situation. Dancing in the streets over it is fairly repellant and if it were the other way around it'd be rightly condemned.
