This neither bothers me, nor is it a surprise.
“Did we cheer when we caught Saddam?
Did we cheer when we killed his two idiot sons?
Did we cheer when Osama was killed?
It is normal in a war for the opposing side to cheer when they achieve something they think is notable.
I don’t condone it. But, lets not get all worked up about it either.”
I think what you are missing is that there is a difference in cheering achievement of military objectives such as the capture or death of enemies as you cite and abject terrorism with a focused objective to purposefully kill innocent civilians whether they be women or children. No civilized society cheers that kind of civilian terror.
You are mistaken if you do not think these people are at war with us. They have no armies or “military objectives.”
The problem is you are trying to apply civilized rules of war to these people. That is an error.
This is EXACTLY like our cheering Osama’s death. We had fools dancing outside the white house. I did hang my head in shame over that. Just as I shake my head at the idiocy of Islamic Jihad.
We should not expect them to play by our rules.
I think that them cheering IS about cheering their side.
This is war, U.S. against ISLUM.
They cheer against U.S. and we cheer against them...ISLUM.
