Re: Just as I thought

If you mean that a person might celebrate Bin Laden's death because of awful things he did, I would point out that he did nothing that our nation hasn't also done. The only thing that ostensibly differentiates the acrions is the reason for doing it, and that's direcrly tied to one's worldview.

Or, to simplify further, it wouldnt be incorrect to say that Bin Laden's worldview was, partially, that he had a sacred obligation to kill infidels, and that worldview led directly to his death, and the celebrations thereof. 

Unless, of course, Mike at some point expressed his hatred of Bin Laden's beard or something. ;)
