Ashimar, don't listen to the ones criticizing your view. I was gladly surprised to see someone speaking the truth as one of the first comments. Murder is pointless, and capital punishment is but an embarrassing remnant of medieval times. I'd often like to think that we have evolved, not only technically, but also as humans since those times, something which I'm not very convinced of.

How would you have brought justice to bin Laden? Harsh language? You're misrepresenting this anyway. It wasn't an execution. It was an arrest. He resisted, and his ass got shot.

It is always easier to believe that killing isn't necessary when its someone else's children dying. DO I think killing in general is a good thing? Absolutely not. DO I think that killing Bin Laden will prevent innocent deaths? Absolutely. Sure it will not stop terrorism but the world is changing. Technology is allowing more and more people to learn the truth. Both about the bad that Americans do and also the radical Muslims as well.

As long as there are Muslims that believe the Western society is preventing their own from being the chosen ones in their gods eyes there will be terrorism and innocent lives lost. As long as there is an American Government completely self concerned and spurned on by greed there will be people, countries that hate us. I believe you should expect to reap what you sow. Bin Laden, Saddam, Ghaddafi, Bush, Obama, all of these men have looked people in the face and lied to them. Manipulated, killed and tortured people either by direct or indirect means. It pains me that our society takes one step forward then two steps back. Declaring war on countries that do not declare war against us. Nato is nothing more then a mockery of greedy countries now.
