Obama Announces Death of Osama bin Laden (Video)

    Osama bin Laden, the co-called mastermind of the September 11 attacks that killed 3,000 people. The US Government has since killed more than 100,000 civilians in Iraq. Who’s the terrorist?

    Does anybody feel the same uneasiness as I do at the sight of people laughing, singing and dancing in the streets because of the death of OBL? Somehow I cannot ignore the uncanny resemblance to pictures of muslims dancing in the streets because of the death of just another offending unbeliever of western origins.

    Silent contentment? Yes, definitely.
    Outbursts of joy? No, why …?

I’m tired of hearing it, already.
