I meant by being Brits you are not American, so you can see it all from a somewhat outside perspective, yet you have access to just as much info as any other "free" country.
Bin Ladin as the root cause of all terrorism, and his death signifies everything is back to honky dory again, is such ignorance. Then to go out and celebrate is the hight of immaturity. Bring every troop home from any war or battle America is involved in, restructure this incompetent corrupt government that has hijacked America for many many decades, exposing the frauds that both parties are, and then maybe you'll see me celebrating.
There's nothing honorable about volunteering to be sent over to kill Muslims to help further the interests of the elite, disguised as some imaginary "war on terror" then get sent home in a body bag. That's just plain stupid. Many in the military even come to figure that one out as soon as they go there. Then they are just doing a job. I don't honor the troops, I feel sorry for them, since they are merely pawns in a much larger sick game, that upon enlisting just couldn't wrap their heads around.
