The troops, that is.

Somebody at CNN/MSNBC asked viewers to notify them if crowds were forming elsewhere.

If there are others, many others, does it up the pressure to bring the troops home?

Just askin'.

I doubt it
It's mostly USA USA USA chest-thumping and grave dancing and general love of the past decade of war.

5. Yup. Mostly just nationalist garbage.

10. I learned a new word tonight -- 'necrogasm' -- to describe what
is happening.

Tinfoil hat theory here. The MIC needed a reason to rev up domestic support for a flagging war effort. What better way than to kill Satan himself? I don't even want to go there. But somehow I can't keep myself from at least considering the possibility.

I think now that bin Laden is confirmed dead, more and more people are going to wonder what the hell we're still doing 'over there'.
