If anything shouldn't it be a moment of reflection, rather than for street parties and at the cost of all other news?
Edit: With that said, I do agree with you and the others that he could still easily be alive . . . my very first thought on seeing the news was how easily that could have been faked. I also agree with you and others that he should have been captured and imprisoned, I don't (nor have I ever) agree with capital punishment, or the celebration of death. I dislike how Sadam was handled, and I dislike how Bin Laden's death has been responded to.

Before this goes too much further, what parties and celebrations are you talking about?
For me the news is barely 15 hours old, and I guess I missed all the impromptu parades and fireworks you are seeing on the news over there.
