I'm not American, I don't even live in the U.S. You have no idea where I'm writing this from, so please stop making assumptions.

The world is rather a complex place. People die every day from various causes on the planet. It still doesn't justifies people like you stepping on a pedestal to ask them to be philosophical about someone who wronged them, just because people die from heart attacks every day.

The present issue is Osama Bin Laden, not heart diseases or any of the other issues you're trying to bring to the table. If you like to open Pandora's boxes, we might as well just close the discussion.

The fact remains that Osama Bin Laden and what he represented were wrong for the world and now he's dead. Many of us who were not particularly affected by his actions think that they are particularly laudable for dictating to others how they should react. I don't know you, so I will refrain from painting a portrait of what I perceive you to be, based on your speech. I will just ask you to please be a bit less sanctimonious.

Truly I don't know you and where you are from, but from where I'm standing: Osama bin Laden is now a martyr, he's now more relevant than ever (post 9-11) and true justice was not served.

One way to crush the free will of people, taking away their rights, is to make them fear an invisible enemy. My parents saw it happen in my country; my grandparents saw it too.

So dance on the streets if you want, but tomorrow you'll realize nothing changed for your well-being, and in fact the "terror" continues, because people allowed it to happen.
