Okay what should we have done once we figured out where he was?
And if that was deemed impossible and murder the only way out, I can accept that, but it should be done in a dignified way with 'mixed feelings' so to speak, rather than making it into some crazy celebratory patriotic revenge-orgy.

I'm not really bothered either way though.
yeah honestly this is a guy who happily encouraged people to blow themselves up at the slightest opportunity. don't think he's going to surrender to us troops.

Beyond that, he would've been executed anyway. This saves time and money, I hope they got him while he was taking a shit.

I know it was inevitable, and I would've predicted it, but I still find it disappointing. I wish it was toned down quite a bit.Jaekus wrote:

On a positive note, at least Obama managed to keep his rhetoric relatively mild. God knows what Bush would've been saying at this point.
Chances were he would've topped himself in his cell ahead of an execution if he had the chance.Shocking wrote:

Bush released a statement ya tool.

I'm about your age and lived here during Bush and I would bet my ass he wouldn't have said anything crazy. Maybe you missed the part of the Obama speech when he quoted Bush and said "We are not at war with Islam".
I was playing Borderlands last night, wat happen !?

Bush said it was a victory for the US and family members of the victims of 9/11, such vile claims

The happiness is in justice, not death. Of course people are going to be exuberant, they've been waiting for a decade. Give them a moment of satisfaction.

Honestly I would have preferred to have him captured, tried, convicted, and then hanged somewhere symbolic, but maybe swift and unceremoniously eliminating him is preferable to revisiting the trauma of the attacks. The desire for revenge, which the entire nation would be engulfed without on throughout the process of a public trial, is extremely unhealthy.

"We" on the other hand, have had our lives changed irrevocably by the actions of the group bin Laden founded - the way we fly, the way we visit our public buildings, and the way the relatives of 3000 people (plus 47,000 troops) remember the world before and after the eleventh of September, 2001.
"We" did not ask for this war, it was brought to us, and the death of this man will bring some closure, and hopefully a chance for this country to evaluate 'why', now that the raw emotions have been let out.

re: Bush, I'd kind of expect a "cut the head off the snake"-esque speech from him, but if you don't think so, fair enough. I did see his comments, but I'd expect they'd be different if he was in power rather than the 'opposition'.

This way it was so quick it's kinda like "fuck, did it really happen?"
