It just kinda looked like that could have been a crowd in any country,...even those anti-American ones we always see plastered all over the news channels...just thought it was a little eerie, seeing that in the US.....
but it IS nice to have something to celebrate!

Agreed entirely. When people took to the streets dancing after 9/11 I thought it was classless and idiotic. For me, the masses at the White House last night had a similar feel.
Don't get me wrong. Bin Laden being dead is a good thing. Certainly justice was served, but I think quiet reverence for his victims would have been a better course.
