Ok, the title here is a little incendiary and there are some papers that manage not to use the words 'Gotcha' when referring to death and destruction, but some of the reaction to Bin Laden's death has been as looney as Muslim fundamentalists themselves are preported to be.
I am not supporting the repression of women or the destruction of western civilization, but neither do I really want to gloat about anyone's death, no matter how evil they are supposed to be.
Plus I'm sick of hearing reasoning that throws all Muslims into the same category.
We can not talk of how Muslims are anymore than we can talk about how Christians are.
Both religions are broad and encompass many different views and levels of strict adherence.
I certainly do not consider any of the Muslims I know to be in any way akin to Bin Laden, because they are not and to even loosely suggest that they are is wrong and stupid.
As for the Bin Laden killing, vengence is a dangerous thing and rarely brings a positive result.
The White House seem capable of being considered, why not the media at large.
