I did not see the footage. How many people were there, celebrating? I have
heard somewhere that there were ~6,000 people celebrating. Not much, when

After the US has its vengeance in the Middle East, people in that region
will probably say the same thing: "Admittedly, these poor saps have been
brainwashed by the evil regime that they live under, but they are
definitely celebrating in the US".
