We're human. I think we can cut ourselves a bit of slack on this one.

I suspect this is Eddie at his ironic, yet cynical, best.

Yes, I suppose we should all be depressed...............WTF?

Eric Cantor (R-VA), House Majority Leader:

"I commend President Obama who has followed the vigilance of President Bush in bringing Bin Laden to justice."

What a classless, partisan prick.

To add to this, I heard on Talk Radio this morning some knuckledragger claiming that this would not have been possible without torture at Gitmo. Jeez.

I am not chastising folks for celebrating but what I see us on TV looks just like the Arabs in Tehran less the head garb.

I remember much to clearly seeing the celebration in Paterson NJ by the Arabs and recall my intense anger and disgust for these people.

I guess that's why I think it best not to act like them. At least for me is it right to simply take humble pride in my country with this victory.

No. It's a normal human reaction. Better WE have something to celebrate that THEY do.

sorry you can't understand my point

BTW, I think the troops can let off some steam in celebration as they are the ones doing the job.

I don't quite understand why preferring a different response to victory is so upsetting to so many.

Yeah, the ever vigilant George Bush;

"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority."
- G.W. Bush, 3/13/02

"I am truly not that concerned about him."
- G.W. Bush, repsonding to a question about bin Laden's whereabouts,
3/13/02 (The New American, 4/8/02)

I think Zeke got it right, not only is Haley Barbour out of the running but pretty much all of the others are having second thoughts. AMong all the other things people have been bringing up for 2012 none of us ever thought of this.
