...to our more nuanced European superiors. They know how to handle rejoicing at the killing on an enemy:

A Hamburg judge has filed a criminal complaint against Chancellor Angela Merkel for "endorsing a crime" after she stated she was "glad" that Osama bin Laden was killed by US forces.

That isn't all:

Meanwhile a new poll reveals that a majority of Germans do not see the terrorist's death as a reason to celebrate.

This is described by der Spiegel as "A Sober German Reaction", but I think it is more along the lines of evidence for pathological self-hatred.

I suppose if Obama had been truly sensitive he would have declared a national day of mourning. Or, instead of ordering bin Laden killed at all, he would have simply committed sepuku on the White House lawn.
