I went to bed at 10:30 EST and apparently missed the whole announcement- lame, I know. My first reaction when I saw the banner on my homepage was that it was a hoax! I don't feel any elation. I'm relieved that he's been dealt with, fear that there will be the mother of all retaliations from his robot followers, and more than a little let down, as there is basically no earthly punishment that would even come close to rectifying the level of pain and destruction he caused. I can only hope he's gotten his karmic comeuppance, as I can't see any God, even the Muslim one, rewarding what he's done.
I guess I'm mostly feeling sad. Not for him. It just brings up all the memories and feelings of 9/11 and how many lives were just utterly destroyed, both those killed and their families and loved ones. And that there are people that felt actual _joy_ for what happened, not only that it was somehow _justified_, but made them happy.
