Bin Laden dead!

Fücking Jesus.

so if Osama funded the 09/11 attack and was hunted down and killed for that,
would that justify same treatment for Obama for killing thousands of innocent Arabs on their territory?

Um, Obama is not an extremist leader who is campaigning terrorist attacks in the Middle East. I really hope this wasn't a serious question.

very serious indeed

My point, our culture is infused with violence and revenge. IDK something about ppl's reactions to his death is just so unsettling to me... :/

That's okay with me. I never understand how people can take such pleasure over death row inmates finally being put out of their misery. To me, the whole thing is rather matter-of-fact, and not emotional at all.

I just hope you were significantly MORE unsettled about some freakin' whack job killing thousands of people who just went in to work for the morning in the name of Islam.

Of Course, it was a scary moment in history and people lost their lives over an international issue that they personally had nothing to do with. It's wrong but i don't believe in dealing with violence WITH violence, it's a perpetuated cycle and we will never get out of it if we don't start dealing with it in different ways.

Bo, countries like USA or Russia cannot leave something like this in peace and just let some people kill their citizens and just do like "whatever ,neext" . They HAVE to respond. They are most powerful countries in world, if they did let others beat them like little schoolboys , they would give a sign to other countries " hey you can do what you want, we won't fight back". They just can't... But as such big and powerful country, they could have done it much much sooner without causing such a big loss of civilians in Afghanistan and Iraq... But sinde when like is fair?

I'm absolutely not saying we shouldn't fight back, but i mean in different ways. I might not be an expert on what we SHOULD do but i know what we shouldn't do...and there are repercussions for the actions we take whether or not we mean well. For example if Obama had decided to release the photos...he's at least smart enough to know that's not a good idea looking at it from the other side.

I feel bad for all the little Iraqi children, they aren't old enough to understand what's going on and i can't imagine what kind of mixed messages they are getting from the US soldiers over there.

Gas went down a penny! I guess that's all he is worth......

To everything there is a season, and Osama bin Laden declared a season of war.

If they really wanted to get the terrorists' attention, they should have left his body to rot on the White House lawn OR let a pack of pit bulls rip him to shreds instead of the shooting approach. Short of absolutely primative behavior, the terrorists get the victory.

Instead we're are treated to headshot (he never knew what hit him), protection from media exposure (i.e., death photos), a nice washing, wrapped carefully in white cloth, and a nice Muslim funeral at sunrise. Ah, how nice.

Believe me, I am super proud of the US military--they are the best of the best and will get any mission accomplished. It is our political leaders that suck dogshit. As I recall, towards the end of the Roman Empire, the elite forces of the day (Praetorian Guard) finally just started running the show because the emperors were a bunch of crap.

There is no definite right or wrong, there's always two sides to every story and trust me, that would not be a good idea. He's dead, you can bet hundreds are already planning his retaliation. By doing that ^, we are making it MUCH worse. Like i said whether or not we mean well for our country, don't complain when the repercussions bite you back in the ass. Personally i believe that Obama absolutely made the right decision to keep the photos confidential. We don't need people to be ingrained with more violence in this country.
