This one just doesn’t get it:

America has lost the moral high ground, though. Beginning on September 11, 2001, collectively as a nation, we condemned the celebrations in the streets throughout the Muslim world. We denounced the carnival atmosphere in the Middle East as the World Trade Center collapsed. We cried for the murder of over 3000 innocent people. We said, how barbaric it was to celebrate death and destruction in that manner. Those people aren’t human, we declared.

Yet what did we do? Celebrate in the streets that Osama bin Laden was dead. We had a party. He was assassinated in his home in a raid that also killed several other men, possibly even one of bin Laden’s sons, and a woman used as a human shield. And we cheer. We dance in the streets. Who is barbaric now?

Probably shouldn’t have celebrated the death of Hitler either. Pfft!
