      <![CDATA[Mr. Crowther,<br>
<br>
Reading this article gave me great solace in the fact that there were other rational people out there that felt similarly to how I felt upon witnessing the myriad celebrations in the wake of bin Laden's killing. That is, until one little part towards the end of the article that gave me pause and troubled me: as much as I detest shows like Jersey Shore (and for this reason have done my best to ignore them entirely), I'm a little perplexed that you would include a mini-fantasy about bin Laden launching a terrorist attack on the idiotic members of the show.

      <![CDATA[If not for the existence of "Jersey Shore", we never would have had the opportunity to view the YouTube clips of actors from the current off-Broadway production of Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest" performing transcripts from "Jersey Shore" in character. You have not lived until you have heard the line "Work blows dick for Skittles" spoken in an upper-class British accent.

You claim to be progressive yet quasi praised  the very man who was against gay rights, womens rights, the right to freedom of religion or from religion.

      <![CDATA[I was struck by Crother's article like few others I've read, because he helped me crystalize a discomfort I was feeling about the Bin Laden killing,      There are two issues, I think. First, we brought the Nazis to trial in Nuremburg after WWII, and made them accountable for their crimes.

So maybe we should have taken him prisoner and watched the nightly news as the heads of hostages are lopped off until he was released..<br>
