To be content with the death of a murderer is one thing; however, even having been almost directly affected by the terrorist attacks a decade ago, I do see where you're coming from and share a small part of that sentiment.
We should have parades for our troops and congratulate them on a job well done. We should be glad that there is one less tyrannical leader in the world.
Keep in mind, a lot of what you're referencing here applies to mostly extremist groups... not every American is dancing in the street right now. There's nothing wrong with a sense of relief and accomplishment for finally taking out Bin Laden, but you're right that nobody should truly "enjoy" this. We're not all like that. It's only the idiots that make the news, just for reference. You should know! (Not as in, you should know because you're an idiot, but as in you should know because you're also an American.)

I do support the our troops and all soldiers who decided to serve their country, I figure, "Well heck, I don't want to do it. I'm sure glad someone's brave enough." I'm always thankfull for our military.
I honestly didn't know it was just the extremist groups. On the news this morning (Today show I belive it was) I saw an entire stadium of baseball players and fans singing our national anthem after hearing of the news. I know he was one of Americas greatest enemies of this time but is that really all necessary? I even saw college students getting out of thier dorms and starting parties in the street for it. (Although I think that may just be the party-crowd looking for a reason to party...hard to say, given I'm not in college yet)
I just wouldn't want other countries to be mislead from what our media portreys...but now that I actually think about it, that already happens.
