Two questions...

Which day is would it be? It was reported here on Sunday, the first. But in Pakistan, due to time changes, I believe he was actually killed on the 2nd.

What ideas do you have for a suitable tradition for celebration? We have fireworks for the 4th, parades for Thanksgiving, football for New Years, chocolate bunnies for easter. We need something more in keeping with the event...I'm trying to come up with ideas.
The bolded is my favorite part of the OP. It's absurd.

No national holiday. You can commemorate the day privately each year if you want. Maybe send a few cases of beer or bottles of champaigne to the US special forces training centers and to the CIA. Personally I like to celebrate all Muslim holidays by eating pork ribs. (Like anyone really needs an excuse to eat good BBQ ribs, right?)

"A date which will live in Infamy" Nothing more.

Carry on.

Can you explain to me just how Osama is comparable to the approximately 3000 innocent people that died on 9/11? Cause I just ain't making the connection.

Celebrating bringing a mass murdering terrorist to justice isn't the same as celebrating the murder of innocent people.

I refuse to acknowlege this dead monster.

we celebrate life and those who have advanced the cause of freedom. we do not celebrate bringers of death....not even the death of such.


the date of UBLs death should be a footnote in history and should stand as a stark reminder to all who would seek to do harm to Americans.

but it should not be celebrated.
