Wow. We agree on something.

Judging from your post I assume you'd prefer the latter.

Where did she say that it shouldn't have been done? In fact, she said that we did what we had to do. You can do the right thing without it being a celebratory occasion. We're not objecting to the fact he was killed by US forces. We're objecting to celebrating the death of human life, no matter how evil.
Now, not to be hypocritical, I did get a little emotional when my husband flipped on RAW last night and they showed snips from September 11th, their tribute show, and then had Lillian Garcia sing the National Anthem and the Rock lead the Pledge. However, to me, it seemed more about honoring the troops than celebrating bin Laden's death. I'm ok with that.
