I am really stunned by the stupid remarks that are being made in the wake of the Osama Bin Laden assassination. People are saying we shouldn’t celebrate somebody’s death. Oh, really? Do you recall who Osama Bin Laden was and what he did? He declared war on the United States and carried out numerous terrorist attacks. His thugs killed thousands of people in many places around the world. He was the #1 international criminal. And we should feel sorry for him because he was killed? I don’t think so. I feel sorry for the idiots making the stupid comments. Comments that suggest people should not have been celebrating last Sunday night when the news of his assassination broke. Some people are even criticizing the crowds for chanting “USA! USA!” What should they have chanted? “Osama, we're sorry, please forgive us?” I used to disparage people who displayed the “9/11 We will never forget” signs. Now I see they were right. It seems we somehow have forgotten. And now I hear people are complaining that Osama Bin Laden’s codename was ‘Geronimo.’ I can’t speak for the real Geronimo but I’m willing to bet he would have understood the reason for the action and been proud to have his name associated with the assassination of such a heinous criminal.
