hahah that is a GREAT sign! It's such good news, I wish I hadn't slept thru it!!

I just really REALLY hope obama uses this the right way in 2012, it's such an enormous boost to his presidency. He also needs to tout all the thwarted terrorist attacks there have been in the last 2 years... how many have there been? like 6, maybe even as many as 10? I feel like they get so little attention for obama.

Nope. I'm one of those people who feels wrong celebrating a death like this. I'm just relieved he can't hurt anyone anymore. I feel the same way I'd feel if a serial killer were executed. People can express their emotions however they want, but I'm not one of the party goers.

I am really angry about the name "Geronimo" being used as a codename for Bin Laden and/or the Operation. What a slap in the face to Native Americans, to associate one of their heroes with terrorism. [Not that it's anything new.]

Even if the codename was unintentional, it speaks highly of a gap between cultures.
