You know what, I've spent like a decade now on internet forums consisting largely of non-Americans and I can't help but sense some sort of... I don't even know the word...just negativity towards the USA.

We kill our most dangerous and biggest terror threat and people are still finding ways to put the US at fault for something.

"Oh you killed one of the most dangerous men in the world? Congratu---Shame on you for being happy about that!"

Edit: "guilt of terrorism" - what exactly is terrorism? This is why I brought up Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Why was 9/11 terrorism and the event that ended WW2 not? Terrorism is a totally meaningless label in my view.
Alright, you've gone beyond the point of being taken seriously. I know its easier for you to just interject your emotion here as fact, but its not the case. Calling him Fox News?

Why can't you just stick to the debate?

negativity toward the USA - anti-americanism

I'm not anti-american, they just happen to be a large power that speaks the same language as I do and is pretty much culturally identical. I'm critical of every country. USA just hits my radar the most often.

Since when is this a debate? I was under the impression that this was an internet forum...

I'm not going to lie. The over-the-top patriotism from American's I've seen on the news makes me throw up in my mouth.

My cousin was at a huge "osama's dead" celebration in Washington DC. Just felt like sharing this...
