Vegangelica made some good points. I think people should make a point of reading her comments here.

Edit: So what if Osama killed thousands? How many died in Hiroshima?

I don't believe in capital punishment. If anything, taking Osama alive would have been preferable since you could avoid stirring up so much action in terrorist regions. I'd be ashamed to be an American given the way everyone is gloating - it just looks stupid.

Justice isn't retributive. Retribution isn't justice. For an event like 9/11 especially, not amount of gloating, and killing people will undo what has been done.
