people look at the killing of a terrorist, be it real-live or in firecaracker form, as a sign of patriotism (that is, the definition of patriotism most people are using these days), and at this time of the year anything patriotic sells.

on that level of thinking alone, some may feel that they are being patriotic in "killing" the people they have been told terrorists, and if it makes them happy, then the product was successful.

personally, i like the sparkly fountain fireworks, and the big sky displays. i think it's nice to hear them crackle.
