Celebrate the lives of whose whom bin Laden had adversely affected throughout his life of crime. All those lives, lost. All those soldiers dead and injured, their lives spent in the name of hunting him down. Their bravery and sacrifice now made worth it on this day. Bless them. Bless them all, and may they and their families find rest and closure.

Think about those who perverted bin Laden's mind as a young man, the environment he grew up in, and those who poisoned him and turned him into the killer he became. Think of how his life might have turned out if he'd embraced peace instead of terrorism.

Think of those lives he might never have ended before their time, and the world we'd have had since 2001 if he'd never come close to causing 9/11. A more peaceful world. No DHS, no Patriot Act, no TSA, no body scans. People allowed to wear shoes and carry bottled water onto a plane.

Nobody fearing their neighbours just because they're a different skin colour. Bigotry on its way to becoming a thing of the past.

Celebrate the world where the things he has done are now in the past, and you have a far better future ahead of you. Celebrate all of that, and turn your mind to creating the conditions for peace to return to the world once more.

Peace.

A far better future ahead of us?? I'm not sure on what basis you declare that this will be the case. Osama Bin Laden's death will not end the Orwellian slope we're slipping down.
