LOL. I was joking to lead up to the dumb youtube video. I wanted to keep the taser convo in line with the thread. Doh!

Indeed it does. I hope they look back at that video in a few years and think "what the hell were we thinking?!" That type of celebration is what makes some people wonder when celebration becomes...crazy...and that can add to some people's belief that the Osama killing wasn't absolutely necessary. Since the government and military do a lot of things that the layperson doesn't know about, the Osama killing could have been convenient and desired for nationalist and political reasons. But, we will never know whether it was absolutely necessary. I don't believe it was truly about the true safety of America and our allies, since terrorists don't really need Osama alive to do whatever they do, versus Americans and our allies feeling vindicated and a bit more safe.
