Word of Osama bin Laden's death rocketed through the Internet in rapid-fire Twitter messages, Facebook updates, and YouTube video clips.

I have been reading news, comments, and, and different reactions about Osama's death all over the internet also.

To be expected. It's news of great import to the world.

 

[Yuu]

I actually forgot about this fellow

I don't know whether to feel happy or sad O-o

Kinda surprised by the massive celebrations in NY...champagne & everything. Sure I can understand they're happy about it, but celebrating an assassination. :/

Random guy apparently tweeted the whole thing by coincidence:

Not sure if its legit.

Why would the Americans kill their own man? OBL is, and always has been, a CIA asset.

but celebrating an assassination. :/

And the assassination of a family to boot.

The man was responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocents and sparked ten years of war. I think that's a good reason to celebrate.

Tin Foil Hat time!

And the assassination of a family to boot.

The only person to blame for that is Osama himself.

No, the war stopping would be reason to celebrate. This achieves nothing except revenge. If anything more people will now die: Bin Laden supporters are pissed, US crew feels righteous & that its approach (war & " deaths of thousands of innocents") is justified.

I really don't think anybody in the US is scared of war. They are pretty much resolved to do whatever it takes.

Still a reason to celebrate. Lighten up.

 

[LazyLion]

... and revenge is not always a bad thing. Especially when it is couched in fitting poetic justice!

But are they prepared to take whatever it gives?

I think they will... but whether or not that is the best course of action can be debated.

 

[Maddmatt]

Well what else are they supposed to do? Just sit there while the Taliban prepares more attacks and indoctrinates more followers?

Also, unless Bin Laden was killed by a computer virus or something, why is this thread a "Broadband and IT" news article?

Read the Title and the article... it's about how trending news can affect the entire Internet.

I'm not gonna lie, I didn't read the article

 

[grimstoner]

So... he's killed, and buried at sea a couple of hours later? And now "DNA tests confim" it's him? I smell a rat. And not one in a tin-foil hat.
