President Obama's speech on the killing of Osama Bin Laden. Given the time, lives and financial resources spent tracking down Bin Laden, this is a significant accomplishment by all involved from the President on down. Personally, I don't take the death of any person lightly---that's just the humanist in me. Moreover, as many commentators have noted, this doesn't (and will not) end the campaign against terror throughout the world.
What I have found a little disturbing are the crowds (including outside of the WH) chanting "USA"???? This isn't a soccer match! Real lives have been at stake. This response seems a little simplistic to me (but, that's just my opinion). Maybe "disturbing" isn't the right word---but, I certainly don't understand it.
