Was that an accurate comparison? I don't know. It was just the initial thought that went through my mind when watching those images.

People will say it's a different comparison because they don't want to liken themselves to terrorists or terrorism.
The fact is; it is the same. You're celebrating the demise of a symbol, despite the human deathtoll. Be it 3000 people in the World Trade Centres, or 1 man in his "mansion."
What they were celebrating is the toppling of a global empire. What you're celebrating is the end to an extremist figurehead.
Go ahead, party in the streets, just like
they did. You're all singing the same tune, just with different lyrics.
