[quote=teaboy]I would guess that the following gives some pretty good insights into how US allies and other democracies see us.
I’m sure lots of piggingtons could honestly say they dont share any feelings of justice or joy in the news, but I would guess they’re a vast minority. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with that from constituents, but I feel our leaders should perhaps be a little more balanced in their rhetoric.

I’m one of those who can honestly say that I don’t share any feelings of justice or joy. But I have no idea how the article you linked to and quoted is indicative of how US allies and other democracies see us. Care to elaborate on that one?
While the elation many feel here in the US may not be universal, I suspect Bin Laden’s death is viewed as a positive through most of the world. Except within some very small minorities, he wasn’t a particularly popular guy anywhere, including the Arab Muslim world.
