I have actually always meant to watch Highlander in exactly that way. But then I also feel guilty and like a bad person so IDK.
It's not the un-niceness that bothers me here so much as the complete irrationality. Osama might have been the boogeyman, but he hasn't been suffering with a ruined infrastructure and a resurgence of fundamentalism - the Afghan people have. But yay, you got Osama, woo! I get that he's a symbol, but I think he's a bad one. (I have associated feelings about the fact that the US has been attacked on its own territory plenty in the last sixty years, but it was always by Americans before.)
