I am astounded at the amount of gullible people (sheep) that think Osama was really behind 9/11.
No evidence or body, just like WMDs, means it didn't happen. Are people that stupid?

Now there is an excuse to pull troops out of Afganistan and into Syria, Libya or take your pick.

You people need to wake up and start thinking for yourself...I know it's hard to do when you believe every single thing your government tells you, because they would never ever lie to you would they...?

Maybe some of us actually look outside of our own government and read things from other countries in other languages. I read British, French, and German newspapers/articles. Last time I checked, Bin Laden claimed he was responsible for the attacks on 9/11. But I guess the articles about it in BBC, CNN, Der Spiegel, and others are all part of the system us sheep follow. The world needs sheep. They grow your wool.

Was there ever concrete proof that he was behind 9/11?

Of course. George Bush said he did it, thats all the proof they need.

OBL denied involment after it happened, typically CNN, BBC failed to mention this.

Come on now, there's no need to poke fun at us as Americans for the fact that it took us so long to find this man. The bottom line is he killed thousands of innocent people, and his death is relief to us all. September 11 was a horrible day in American history. We can sleep a little better now knowing that justice has been served.
One thing I've learned from this site is that many non-Americans will find any reason to bash the USA.  Let them have it...remember who's on top!  I just think it's funny how they get their panties in a bunch if you say anything negative about their little country.

I'll probably get flamed, too, but I must get this off my chest.  The man was responsible for the death of thousands.  My country (USA) had every right to go after him.  I'm tired of countries that are jealous of our strength, wealth, influence, and power bashing us.  Go USA.  I will NEVER apologize for my country.

I love the idea of the United States. It is the most powerful country on earth for a reason. However, the things that made it great are long gone. That so many people hate the place is a manifestation of that. Some people hate the US for a reason. Overseas aggression is more than part of that reason.
I wonder where Canada and many other western countries would be without the States and what it would be like if the USA didn't do any of the dirty work that needs to get done.  It must be so nice to talk about how great a country you have when you can just ride the coat tails of the USA.

Okay, so, yes, it's finally over.  He's gone.  We got him.  I'm proud of you, good ole USA.  It's been a decade of spending billions of dollars a day to satisfy a vengeful appetite, and at the same time, we opened new sores and fell into quagmires.  Yes, it's all for the right reasons.  Let's face it though, chopping off the symbolic head of an -ism won't put an end to all the killings.  If we chopped off the heads of all the living terrorists today, tomorrow someone would wake up with the same bright idea.  Don't get me wrong...I am proud, I promise.

So here's my challenge:  Let's match the billions of dollars we spent daily on the war on terror for the past decade (which was spent to keep us all safe and, um, free from fear) by getting the American public to dedicate the same amount of money to eradicate poverty, reduce or eliminate carbon emissions, keep our borders safe (but not closed) and fix our education system.  Won't that keep our country and our world safe for our children?  And we wouldn't have any civilian casualties in the effort.

America is widely hate and widely loved at the same time. It's like a famous movie star with flaws. A lot of people love it for many reasons and a lot of people hate it for many reasons.

Oy....Please refrain from any blanket statements of hate for any country.  This is quickly turning into a patriotic troll-fest.

I realize this might sound ridiculous to many, and mainly only apply to Christians, but here's a different perspective, from a Christian and a U.S. citizen (also, I got this from a friend of mine, so these aren't original):

A few thoughts on Osama:
I deserve death as much as him. (Christian theology of being a sinner)
"bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who insult you and persecute you" (Jesus, according to Luke)
“Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, and do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles.” (Pro 24:17)
Remember the overwhelming majority of Muslims condemn Osama too - he does not represent them. We must all the more love Muslims.
This does nothing to solve any problem - expect even more intense retaliation.
America has failed by perpetuating the useless cycle of violence and we can expect many more of our brothers and sisters to die.
"our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." (Eph 6)
"Blessed are the peacemakers"
9/11 survivor: "I just can't find it in me to be glad one more person is dead, even if it is Osama bin Laden.”
"our citizenship is in heaven." when the values of my true citizenship in heaven clash with the values of my citizenship on earth, I side earnestly on the side of the Kingdom

like I said, just another perspective...

If the refraining from "blanket statement" policy applied to "any country", then the majority of posts in Korea focussed threads would be removed. I've noticed that there seems to be a hypersensitivity where other nations are concerned but an "anything goes" policy with what you can say about Korea/Koreans.

Death Walrus, how is that irony? One group is celebrating the cold blooded murder of 3000+ innocent people while the other is celebrating justice (aka the death of a cold-blooded murderer). I've also never seen Americans dancing in the street to celebrate the accidental murder of civilians in the various war zones (the only thing that could be comparable to the Palestinians' celebration).
It's all a celebration of death. Doesn't matter who it is. Humans should never dance in the street to celebrate murder, no matter how big of a scumbag Osama was. "We're trying to have a civilization here!" -Jerry Seinfeld

Huh? Oh....sorry guys, I was just bashing my head on the keyboard because of how ridiculous some of these posts are. Is there ever really ever any need for crapping on another country's people? No one who claims to have an open mind would hate an entire country for the actions of its government nor would someone think that one country is responsible for peace in the western world.

That's exactly the kind of thing someone from your country would say.  I hate your country and it's government!!! 
I'm joking, obviously.

He said he was behind it. If he wasn't behind it then why would he claim to be? Attract attention? He attracted attention alright and the US hunted him down and killed him.

Crowd of americans celebrating the death of a man who killed americans theyve never met = acceptable.

Crowd of arabs who are celebrating the death of soldiers who have just been shooting up their neighbourhood and killing their families = disgusting animals.

I'm obviously all for justice, but celebrating the death of anyone feels odd to me.
