Since Bin Laden's murder, did you shout "U.S.A."?

Since Bin Laden's murder, have you sung the American national anthem?

I'm 0 for 3 with these questions and I cant help feel some separation from Americans even though I'm an American who supports the US in attacking Bin Laden.

I didn't do any of them.

Nope. When I found out, I was just happy that the SOB got his.

No, and I Don't change my Facebook status for an hour or put up a Pic of a flag. Just not a big group person.

I was chanting with the crowd at the Mets/Phillies game.

I'm 0 for 3 as well.

I certainly support what we did.

I don't think this is a cause for celebration. I think it's time to pause, reflect on those who were lost on 9/11 and in the subsequent wars, and, perhaps, reevaluate what we want to do in the future. Does this perpetual war make sense? Does it undermine who we are as a people?

I never felt any jubilation-- or need to publicly celebrate, or even publicly acknowledge my patriotism. I found the whole thing sobering, if anything.

I always fly the flag in front of my house.

Does drinking some toasts count?

yes, no, and no.

I fly the colors everyday outside my house and place of business. It's the very least I can due to honor the memory of those whos lives have been lost in defeding its symbolism of everyhting this country stands for, good, bad and indifferent.

No on the next two.

I did have a deep jumble of emotions when thinking about what this means to the family and friends of the 911 victims.

In the words of President Obama "God Bless America"
