I doubt that anyone remembers the Palestines handing out Candy and Dancing in the streets after the twin towers, I didn't even remember it until I read this thread.
But to them, because of America's support of Israel, even though American's weren't directly killing palestinians they view the United States as their own version of Bin Laden.

I understand it, and don't condone it. As I mentioned. But it's still not the best way to express emotion. it's not about him, it's about the situation.
As the little kid in school (who lost his father) said, (para) 'Bin laden is dead and everyone is happy. But I don't feel happy.' He was excused from school.
And from a human standpoint, we don't want to slip down the slope to the terrorists. No matter how small.
Justice was done.
Those carrying on to excess need to understand, they are making light of a situation of which many still carry on their backs. It should be a time for solemn reflection, and continued help to those affected.
