Unfortunately they are, also in general, very simple minded people who like to point at the man in charge for everything that works or breaks in their country.

Surely that does (and can) happen everywhere. I know at the moment alot of people are blaming the primeminister/s for the cuts, etc. and during the recent referendum there were alot of attacks on Nick Clegg personally rather than about his party and policy. Or, on a smaller scale, if a school gets really great exam results one year it's not the students who get the praise, but rather the headteacher and it would be the same if they were to get really bad results.
I don't think it's fair to say that that kind of thinking only happens in one country, especially when you're insulting and stereotyping 300 million people.
I don't necessarily agree with everyone having a massive piss-up after hearing the news, but I think it's understandable. Bin Laden wasn't just a man (and a pretty evil man at that), but he was a symbol of terror, and I can understand the closure or even the relief and feeling of justice that his death brought to many people.
Some people will think that the death of Bin Laden means that Al-Qaeda is finished, but then again there are also some people who believe the moon landing wasn't real. Some people are just stupid.
