I'd like to see the poll votes split by Americans and rest of the world

I voted crass. I think crass is too strong a word, but I think it's wrong to celebrate. After the towers fell I saw Arabs celebrating. How do you think it made me feel? I am someone who lost people I loved, someone who saw the events unfold, someone that escaped the rubble.

I thought it was crass and insensitive.

Human beings have the capability for empathy. USE IT! We can believe that the correct actions were taken without celebrating in the street. We don't need to add fuel to the fire. We should be confident in our actions without showing others up.

Do you think others look foolish when celebrating a death? Well guess what, we look foolish too.

I'm sure some will attack me on this, so attack away...

I was/am pro-Mosque, but calling the cheering "insensitive" is ridiculous. Insensitive to who? The people who liked him because he wanted us dead?

I do agree celebrating his death is bad form, but not insensitive. I can only imagine how many "pro-lifers" cheered at the news, too.

The hell's wrong with you two? A bad guy got shot in the face. Anybody who doesn't celebrate that has something wrong with them.

I'm sure his problems stem from not being hugged enough as a kid and not having access to Ritalin.
