Japan
Small business owner Takuma Kajiura expressed dismay at how Americans erupted in celebration. "I'm surprised that there is no separation of politics and religion in the US in the 21st century," said Kajiura, 39. "The US acts as the international cop and plays the key role among ... developed countries. But it is still waging a war of religion."
Pakistan Taliban
"Now Pakistani rulers, President Zardari and the army will be our first targets. America will be our second target," Ehsanullah Ehsan, a spokesman for Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, or Taliban Movement of Pakistan
