	Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, And let not thy heart be glad when he is overthrown - Proverbs 24:17

	I generally agree, christkotx, but: "I’ve never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure.” Mark Twain

	Good job America. I love you. But I will love my country in a way that leaves room for others to love theirs. There are 6,468,229,150 people in the world that aren't Americans.

	@SOAR21: i, and many other Americans, realize that arrogance isnt always the best idea, but we (meaning American troops on a presidential order) killed the guy who masterminded the most deadly foreign attack on American soil, so how 'bout you let us have just this one

	Do you remember those people in Iraq dancing for joy when the twin towers were hit and those thousands of people died? Sick they could rejoice over death, same here. Keep the joy inside and be the bigger man. Good riddance to trash, but to jump for joy seems crass to me.

	Dumbass? Because I called him Trash or because rejoicing over death is crass? I guess it was ok for those Iraqis to dance for joy when the towers came down? If THIS is ok to to rejoice about, so was that. Tbe dumbass to me is the short sighted one who sees things from only their own viewpoint.

	And what exactly is the problem with them 'dancing for joy'? Not everyone likes the USA, and we believe in Freedom of Speech here. Just as they were allowed to jump for joy when our towers fell along with thousands of our loved ones, I will jump for joy knowing that the mastermind of the organization that has caused untold thousands of deaths is now in hell where he belongs.

	@tomahaha Do you really not see the fundamental difference between celebrating the murders of thousands of innocent people, and celebrating the fact that the mastermind of those murders is no longer roaming free?

	some of these comments make me ashamed to be american

	tahitiwahini:	May 2nd, 2011 at 06:04 GMT	7 points
	@tomahaha: perhaps what people are criticizing in your comment is the moral equivalence between the death of 3000 innocent people and the death of a mass-murderer. I'm pretty sure you understand the difference. I think you're smarter than that.

	ambition:	May 2nd, 2011 at 06:05 GMT	15 points
	I'm going to risk the built-up plus comments I have on this thread here, but tomahaha is right. I hoped this would come through in the Mark Twain quote, but here's my interpretation: If you're happy bin Laden is dead that's fine (I'll admit to being somewhat happy), but keep your pleasure to yourself. He publicly took joy in killing Americans; we shouldn't stoop to his level when he dies.

	Good Job Americans! After 10 years and half a trillion dollars spent you FINALLY killed ONE bad guy! Flood the streets, you're number one!!

	racists will blow it out of proportion, non-americans will find a way to trash us, and cynics will belittle it. either way anyone swings it, america has done a great thing for the world.

	SOAR21:	May 2nd, 2011 at 06:28 GMT	0 points
	mgogol. Every country in the world either helped, or did not help America. If whatever nation you're from helped. Then thanks for your help, but you were equally ineffective. If your nation did not participate in this manhunt, then thank you for your help will all the sarcasm I can muster, and please don't think you could have done better.

	Beefcube:	May 2nd, 2011 at 06:34 GMT	4 points
	Oh come on, this is one of the rare times when our country has done something that isn't causing the rest of the world to hate us, can we just have this one night to be awesome before the world goes back to hating us?

	As a Canadian, I give our neighbors to the south a big pat on the back. Good job!

	zaphoid:	May 2nd, 2011 at 06:42 GMT	5 points
	I got the first question right but the second question is a little vague. Could you elaborate a little more?

	TessSGS:	May 2nd, 2011 at 07:20 GMT	0 points
	I think it's alphabetical, Zaphoid.

	iceman1731:	May 2nd, 2011 at 07:22 GMT	9 points
	I can understand the excitement of the news, but that is still no reason to rate this quiz so highly as it is a very poor quiz in essence.

	TessSGS:	May 2nd, 2011 at 07:26 GMT	5 points
	It's garbage as a quiz, isn't it?

	chaste:	May 2nd, 2011 at 09:15 GMT	7 points
	Why are the only comments that make sense downrated?

	TessSGS:	May 2nd, 2011 at 09:27 GMT	6 points
	I just uprated yours =)

	flixuk:	May 2nd, 2011 at 09:37 GMT	5 points
	I remember thinking how disgusting it was that people were rejoicing over the terrorist attacks all those years back. Really disgusting, rejoicing over death.

	Need to accept "Walt Disney" for the first question.

	In all (about 4) Bin Laden quizzes I've seen no one has yet pointed out the hypocrisy regarding the fact that it is the US Government who supplied, funded and trained Bin Laden and the Mujahideen (who were the beginnings of Al Qaeda) in the first place when he was fighting the Soviets in the 80s.

	banutzu:	May 2nd, 2011 at 10:54 GMT	-1 points
	USA funded and trained Osama Bin Laden... just like they funded Saddam Hussein in the 80s... overthrew the democratically elected president of Chile on September 11th 1973... supported the Fascist dictatorships of the Argentine Junta in the early 80s, supported terrorism in Nicaragua... how did a website like Sporcle which aims to educate people and eradicate ignorance end up being populated by such small minded morons

	You can't blame America for funding them, because they weren't funding Al-Qaeda, they were funding Mujahideen. It's not their fault one became the other. And while I agree with Tomahaha and whoever else was against celebration, I'm letting it slide on this one.

	Hako:	May 2nd, 2011 at 11:20 GMT	4 points
	I in some way understand why the USA supported Osama bin Laden in the 80s. It was an alliance of convinience against an allegedly bigger and more dangerous enemy, just like the alliance with Stalin in WWII. But then the Americans shouldn't be surprised if the people they made strong are turning on them now. Nonetheless it is a tragedy that so many innocent people diedbecause of bin Laden and his supporters.

	banutzu:	May 2nd, 2011 at 11:23 GMT	1 point
	Yes you can balem America, it was/is part of a wider American policy of supporting any regime/entity regardless of its values so long as it is line with America's national interest at that given moment. The same is true of other Western countries - it's not often reported but the French government offered the Tunisian government assistance in putting down the pro-democracy uprising earlier this year - http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/02/01/uk-tunisia-france-teargas-idUKTRE71077O20110201
