The celebration seems bizarre to me. They captured a relatively harmless college kid (I mean any one person can wreak a significant amount of havoc on innocent people without much effort) and spent millions in resources, but they're acting like they've decimated an entire terrorist organization.

- This past week has been so stressful and intense for anyone who lives here - I think a little celebration is ok.monkeyshine
- I'm also an American and it's fine by me if they celebrate.. just seems bizarre given how much was lost by us...SteveJobs
- given the casualties, injuries, and money spent... for two demented kids. Guess I'd expect a more somber reflective tone.SteveJobs

- He was a big threat. They had more bombs and guns. He could have killed more.CygnusZero4
- Capturing him was a big deal. He's off the streets now. Not everyone snaps like these 2 did.CygnusZero4
- To me the celebration is in the miracle that they apprehended him alive. I know others were just happy he was caught. They had been trapped in their houses for a day.instrmntl
