Anyway, good job. Finally.
Oh, and as a personal aside, I'd like to tell all the Brits chiming in on BBC's "Have Your Say" to go fucking die, you fucking whinging whankers.
I hope the IRA runs a train on your new fucking princess. You fucking whores. I hope your island sinks into the fucking North Sea under EU debt. You filthy fucks.

Honestly, how do sanctimonious holier-than-thou Euro mouthbreathers like that go through life without being systematically beaten every day of their lives? Who lets people like that live among you without reprisal or consequence? WTF?
Be fair. Can they really be that much worse than Lettow and Spellus?

Can't be worse than the comments on derstandard.at
"The Empire knows how to entertain their naive peons with bread and circuses, just like 2000 years ago"
"Hopefully, America will also be brought to justice"
"When OBL was fighting commies he was a good guy - let's see how the Libyan rebels will be seen in 10, 20 years"
"This will probably never fully disclosed, just like the story behind 9/11"
"Instead of reaching out to the Third World, the U.S. escalate the violence again"
"Death penalty is always wrong, they should have arrested him" (this is one of the less insane comments)
"It goes to show that mankind hasn't developed its morals one iota since the Stone Age"
"If Osama had lived he would have had interesting stories to tell about the CIA ... of course they couldn't allow that."
"Interesting what the U.S. can achive when the PS3 network is down ..."
"How can a winner of a Nobel Peace Prize talk so contentedly about the murder of a person? Goes to show how uncivilized the U.S. truly are!"
Or this exchange:
"Sad when the leader of the most powerful nation in the world talks of justified murder."
"And what about the almost 3000 civilians killed in 9/11 (not to mention the other attacks?"
"Yeah, but what about all the civilians killed in Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Serbia, or the destruction by the oil industry in Nigeria? All the people involved in this should be killed according to your opinion?"
Etc. etc.
:x
I am sort of honored to be compared to the Roman Empire :)
Hopefully this means the US will dominate for another 500 years :P

Yeah, but we have 'laws' to contain lunatics like you.
Some nuttier comments I've read this morning:
- "Great, now North African countries will be opened for the corporations!" - "But only where there's any resources!" (Huh??)
- "All orchestrated. OBL never existed. They only killed him off now to create a new major terror attack and have a new villain after the old one got boring."
- "How shall we believe that OBL is indeed dead, since all we have is the 'proof' from a country that has been proven to lie time and time again (Iraq)!"
- "What happened that the Americans don't need Osama anymore? What's the next chapter in this soap opera?"
It's kinda sad how many posters seem to think the War on Terror(tm) and Osama's existence are an American plot.

derstandard.at, a leftist mainstream paper in Austria, targeted at liberal intellectual wannabes, BoBos and "Gutmenschen" (people who are for human rights, against violence, for immigration, for helping the weak etc. while often displaying a moral superiority complex .... usually all talk, though, no action).
Comments on, say, Die Presse (Conservative paper), aren't better, though, and there's probably an overlap of posters between the two. In general I avoid reading comments to news stories, because, as R.Hakluyt said, it's better for the blood pressure.

It's a good idea to avoid these sorts of things. They tend to have very high concentrated stupidity. I doubt you'll find many leftist in the US that will criticize the military action here. Only the extreme moonbats. Fuck, even the conservatives who hate Obama with a purple passion tipped their hats to the President.

It's actually been pretty dry here in Massachusetts. Some Spring rains but not heavy or over a long period; nothing like the last two years. I can expect a good amount of rain in early May but usually, I think, we've already had a lot of rain by the time May comes around.
