Growing up with the threat of Communism & Nikita Kruschev threatening to bury us was a very real thing back in the 1950's & 1960's with the cold war is what they called it. If was a relief when the Berlin Wall finally fell. That is what I got to grow up with at the time the threat of Nuclear bombs & the threat of Nuclear War.

I can see why youth & adults celebrated the death of bin laden. It is a weight off of their shoulders. A good 23 years of al Qaeda terrorizing the world has been enough.
