    I would bet any amount of money the majority of Americans who condemn any form of abortion because it is wrong to take human life for any reason also joyously condone the killing of Osama Bin Laden. I'm not a Christian, so I have no qualms about condoning it, but stuff like this is a terrific demonstration of what really motivates the religious right wing (west or east).
    It is quite apparrent you are not a Christian which is fine but it would be better that since you are not a said Christian you would not speak about it since you clearly have no clue what you are talking about. How did you bring abortion into this discussion at all? You clearly have many many hang ups and attempt to steer most every thread you respond to towards those hang ups. Sorry there is no correlation here.

    I do not mind the celebrations simply because in that area 3000+ people lost their lives due to this one individual. One very unfortunate side effect of the event is that it now makes our totally incompetent leader look a bit more competent and people are so stupid as to believe he had anything to do with it besides giving permission. Regardless his approval rating will probably jump a bit. In all truth the information for said raid came from the policies and practices of a previous administration and if we had not had that information then nothing would have happened. But as always credit will go to the wrong people and the news agencies will spin it into oblivion and the truth of the matter will never be known because we are too stupid to care and too brainwashed to research it.

    More than the issue of credit attribution, I think people should focus on whether the death of Osama Bin Laden merits any kind of support for a president that on the other hand does very little (if anything at all) to solve the gargantuan debt in his country. Currently estimated at around 98% of GDP, growing around 2% an year. In other words, people are again mixing their priorities. A debt that when finally hits everyone in the face, will almost surely drag the rest of the world into yet another economic crisis (as if we didn't have enough of that). Oh... and with a little over 30% of the total debt in the hands of foreign banks, when the s... hits the fan, in comparison to what these banks will do, Osama Bin Laden will look like someone you wanted to invite for thanksgiving.

    I think those sailors really need some etiquette training, I mean, here they are, guests in this nice man's house, and as the home owners stand up to greet them and offer tea, they shot 'em in the face!

    RUDE!

    What I find interesting is that the secretary of defense, featured in that famous photo in the 'situation room,' was formerly the head of Texas AnM university, which is where Bjarne Stroustrup invented C++. So, it's obviously apparent that C++ killed Bin Laden.

    Obama has Texans in his office? And Defense, no less? Good grief!
