OK...Al-Awlaki is dead. That's done with.

Isn't that enough? Does it really matter how people on DU react to it? It's getting abusive and silly that threads are being started to denounce people for not cheering-on-command.

Give it a rest. No one owes it to the country to react in only ONE way to this news.

1. I want someone to start an abusive and silly thread denouncing someone for not...

...denouncing people for not cheering-on-command and to give it a rest and to be told that no one owes it to the country to react in only one way to this news, now!

[Ken Burch]

2. OK, you have my permission.

It's no sillier an idea than the threads I'm reacting to.

3. Yeah, and Troy Davis is dead to, so WTF.. Why the hell should we care now?

After all, it's been what? A week since his demise? It will never happen again, so don't worry about it!

5. You'd have a point if we had tons of threads saying "Troy Davis is dead-you HAVE to celebrate this!"

n/t.

7. I have a point here with your non chalant attitude toward one branch of our Gov't.

deciding what citizens should live or die.

9. I don't have a nonchalant attitude

What I object to is being told that I or other DU'ers have to celebrate what happened to Al-Awlaki just to prove I'm not "defending" the guy.

I'm with you on the idea that the government shouldn't be in the execution business.

10. Sorry if I misread you then. My take is that today was a bad mistake by Obama! n/t

4. I didn't see any such threads--just discussion of the pro's and con's.

6. You missed THIS one, for example:

8. That's called "discussion". Not a command to cheer or behave a certain way.
