In the "war on terror", the US set up large-scale torture programs and killed millions of innocent people, all based on lies and blind hatred. I will cheer no part of that bloodbath. bin Laden was horrible. We were no better.

If you want to celebrate bin Laden's death while burning an American flag, be my guest. But don't celebrate it while waving one.

Never in the history of the universe has something written by Scott Alexander gone over someone's head. Maybe that means he writes clearly, or maybe it means he pontificates at great length about things everyone else has considered obvious since childhood. You be the judge.
