In George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, the Two Minutes' Hate is a daily period in which Party members of the society of Oceania must watch a film depicting The Party's enemies (notably Emmanuel Goldstein and his followers) and express their hatred for them and the principles of democracy.
GT sez:
Watching all the venom being spewed by the media and those in the public who feel it necessary to voice their hatred at the 'news' of the death of Osama bin Laden makes me wonder what the headlines would be if Jesus returned.
The brainwashing of the American Public appears to be the only thing our guv'mint has done successfully.
The youngsters shouting "USA" in front of the White House could have been at any athletic event. And they will be our future adults and possible leaders.
Bin Laden actually succeeded in sucking the American Guv'mint into bankrupting the country...so he won. Our 'leaders' just don't seem to know it yet.
All that is left to do now is make the rest of us pay the price in a drastically lowered standard of living that will result in the premature death of many.
How convenient it is to 'bury at sea' the result of one of our military's highly trained assassination squads. So far this could be a total fairy tale produced by our also highly trained propagandists who are the voice of our latest plutocracy.
Hermann Goering is probably laughing in his grave.

"Göring spoke about war and extreme nationalism to Captain Gilbert, as recorded in Gilbert's Nuremberg Diary:
Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship. ...voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.[45 "
