Well, it would have been rather more dramatic had the explosion happened than the underwear bomber. Watch the video, the houses of parliament would have been utterly destroyed.
And we do tend to celebrate defeating those who pose a threat to our way of life.

Nah that's weak. You don't immortalize scumbag terrorists by giving them a national holiday.

Well, he was hanged, drawn and quatered, so I think the holiday is more for the victors than the terrorist.
At least, we get to enjoy it, and he gets to burn.

Different times Philly.
This was a huge deal four hundred years ago. Nowadays, its just the party we need at the start of winter to stop us getting too depressed. Like you guys have haloween.

They did it anyway, even though he was already dead.
I still think he came off worse.
