I mean I haven't seen/heard anything else in the American news all day. I'm just curious why it's a huge deal? I hate to generalise, but why are the Americans taking it so personally?
I have to add I agree with RickOShay. Doesn't anyone think it's distasteful to celebrate a man's death, no matter who that man may be? It just seems somewhat twisted to me, what kind of world is it that we celebrate and party when a person dies? I'll refrain from any more US generalisations, but will say that in this day and age surely people have more intellect and morality than to laugh with glee at a man's passing. It's like we've returned to the days where we laughed at witches bein burned at the stake, or whooped with celebration when a man was hanged . . . it seems backwards.

UM Robin-------Osama was behind the 9/11 event--was he worried about the thousands of americans who were killed. I just resent the fact that we in Britain were dragged into Iraq and then Afghanistan because of it.
its a pity that Osama was not captured and interrogated-- rather than being killed-- If in fact he Was killed. It could well be a look alike-- after all many of them do look identical with their robes and beards.
I wonder what next war will escalate from this.
