(I don't think it went over so well.) Dancing in the streets is something appropriate for a VJ/VE day, when a war is over. Bin Laden may be dead, but he has plenty of people ready to continue his work, so this is far from over, in my opinion.Stinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08515879495463225411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2343723415154309896.post-991952652433708472011-05-04T07:56:03.899-04:002011-05-04T07:56:03.899-04:00I'm happy he's dead...but...thank goodness...I'm happy he's dead...but...thank goodness I didn't see any news coverage of celebrations. That, I think, is wrong. Someone's death is no reason to pop open the champagne. But what really bothers me is WHY these people cared so much? How has the war on terror affected them? Did their husband die in the WTC bombing? Is their son deployed to Afghanistan? For some, perhaps, the answer is yes. But for the vast bulk of Americans, the war has meant absolutely nothing to them. To be apathetic for 9 years and then to jump for joy seems offensive to those who have suffered.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14591234069872271083noreply@blogger.com
