As an American, I fully agree with you. It's disgraceful the way many in this country behaved exactly the way they so hypocritically detest when others do.

So basically, the little tiny army of Australia who gave what! 1000 soldiers, the ones that cried like baby with soggy diaper when 2 of its soldiers was killed. That’s help, and you wonder why I’m mad at Australia for opening its face up in the matter, and by the way, Australia was scared to helping.
‘AND IF YOU’RE NOT WITH US, THEN YOU’RE AGAINST US’
‘KING KONG DON’T GOT NOTHING ON ME’
‘I DON’T CARE ABOUT THE GENEVA CONVENTION, NATO, WORLD OPINION’
Great moments from Georgy pudding Bush.
Ok president of the USA, ‘WE’S A COMING SIR, US AUSTRALIANS ARE RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE’
YES SIR, NO SIR ,OK SIR

I want to make something VERY CLEAR to the rest of the world as I am an American citizen, born and raised in Texas. We aren't all parading around like it's a national "F"ing holiday about this news... When I first heard about this on Monday morning radio while driving to work, my first reaction was "okay so they finally got his ass"... But when I heard about people celebrating in the streets and Obama saying it's a great day for America and god was on our side and whatnot, it made me sick to think that this is how we're reacting to someone being executed regardless of the fact that he was a cold hearted murderer. This isnt what America is supposed to be about... This isnt how the American president is supposed to break news to the public and it's not something to celebrate IMO...
What really gets me about this whole situation is I've now started to really wonder, what makes America any different than some of these other "F"ed up countries where the govt is in complete control of and do as they please whenever the hell they want. Now our president can give "Kill" orders and people are happy about it? What is the hell is this country coming to?

The american bloodlust is media mainly. Don't believe everything you see
on tv friend.
I have yet to witness anyone mention joy over Osama's alleged assassination
in person.

Trial and sentencing? Are you kidding me? The man was calling for Jihad. This is the same guy who would have covered your wives from head to toe in cloth and forced you to live by Sharia Law if he had his way.
You bleeding hearts are out of your minds. If the whole world thought like you did we'd be living under the rule of Hitler's Third Reich.
Plus, there's no time for trial and "justice" in May of 2011, because Fukushima radiation is spreading like wildfire, and Nibiru will destroy the planet soon. ALL BETS ARE OFF!

The US resembles the land of the munchkins as it celebrates the death of the wicked witch of the East. The joy is understandable but, to many outsiders, unattractive. It endorses what looks increasingly like a cold-blooded assassination ordered by a president who, as a former law professor, knows the absurdity of his statement that "justice was done".

Australia has, and probably always will, have a very healthy "respect" for America, due to obvious strategic, military and trade alignments.
However, there is a growing ground swell of negative sentiment from the press towards our big brother, and one of the most glowing examples is the above linked piece in the Sydney Morning Herald.
The future depends on respect for international law, with which the US has always had an uneasy relationship
also
Bush publicly stated after September 11, 2001, that he wanted bin Laden's "head on a plate". Did Obama order his capture, or his execution?
International law states that a right to surrender be given - however, the above highlights that maybe the option of surrender wasn't to be given (head on a plate scenario doesn't leave much wiggle room for surrender?).
I want to be clear on something - I served in Afghanistan at the very start of the campaign with Australian SF, side by side the US - so I have no love for OBL or AQ.
What I am concerned about is the slippery slope that the US Government has started to slide down, and the apparent blood lust of the American people.
It raises the question - how are we better than them, if this is the way we react, and if these actions are deemed acceptable?
