New info released by the White House & President Obama states Bin Laden was unarmed, although I’m fairly certain some with him in his camp were armed of course. I remember reading once that Laden intentionally remained unarmed believing he wouldn’t be executed by American Military. Guess he thought our guys wouldn’t shoot him unarmed…wrong!!

Some may claim, we never knew. He did not come over for our neighborhood party. I feel very sorry for the children of this person, especially the one that saw her father killed or seen father dead,the young and innocent are hurt the most. To most if not all, of us, we are glad to see a sick demented person is dead. But a child lost her father, and we may not really know how he was as a father, but we do know what he did as a man, and there is information coming out on what he planned for doing. I am sad for the loss of love ones that has happen from 911 till now and ever. Because of one idiot person, who lead many, influenced them, and a sick believe of a false version of there religion, killed, destroyed, or forever changed thousands of innocents. Sad part of this last ten plus years. He was fighting and attacking the very foundation of freedom to worship in a nation of this World.

I totally understand your reaction, but if everyone starts to feel that way about “bad guys” then we will eventually become what we hate. Sure its easy to say this about Bin Laden, but where do you draw the line? Couldn’t the same thing be said of a murderer? I agree that justice was served, but personally I would prefer to be a better person. While I dont really care about how he was killed (sniper, bomb etc…) I think that the US did the right thing by respecting the Muslim faith and burying him the way they did. If too many people start to think “an eye for an eye” then we become the same thing that we hate.

I think we have become to politically correct. maybe an eye for an eye as a hard and fast rule is to extreme but wasting valuable time and resources on mass murderers is just wrong. we continually bog down our judicial system with frivolous law suits because we have overcompensated to protect individual rights. Americans, and yes Canadians are not perfect and expecting us to be perfect as well as trying to show the rest of the world we are perfect is just counter productive. sometimes doing the right thing is not turning the other cheek nor litigating to protect the rights of a specific individual [in this case binladen] but putting a bullet in his head is. as to where to draw the line, all cases are different and reliant upon future moralistic debates. ethics and morals differ from generation to generation and culture to culture. and we can debate this odd infinitum :efpge:but some people because of their actions just don’t deserve to live, bin laden and hitler come to mind!

What about the serial killer then? Hoe about a rapist? Repeat offender child molestor? You make it seem as though its a clean cut issue, but its not. You think there are not other “radical” from other countries plotting war against the US? Are you gonna just go out and shoot them all in the head? Sounds a lot to me like you are condoning the practices.

Please do not misconstrue what I am saying. Im glad Bin Laden is dead and I was defending the position that the US buried him at seas within 24 hours of death as per Muslim tradition. No that him getting killed was a problem.

of course not but my point was that we have become a ridiculously litigious society where everyone wants to sue everyone else while we profess “prosecuting criminals to the fullest extent of the law” we get the “system bogged down so badly w/those frivolous lawsuit that trying a slam dunk case like bin laden ends up taking ten years. not just because of schedualing but all of those lawsuits create a ton of precidents which all the smart lawyers use to expand the rights of the accused and obscure true justice. it truly boggles my mind that absolute proof of guilt can be thrown out because of an improperly worded search warrant so the guilty criminal gets off scott free. why not use the evidence then hand down fines/suspensions to those that did not follow proper procedure obtaining it. i’ve wondered off topic, sorry but this stuff drives me crazy

You are correct. I do condone the way UBL was assasinated and yes, I catagorize rapists and murderer’s in the same catagory. I believe that child molestors should be given fair mental evaluation and the minute they are found capable and not crazy, they should be put to death. A different catagory should be established for people like Hitler, UBL, Saddam, Kim Jong-il etc.. People who wish bad on others that simply don’t believe what they believe. No offense but if this were to have happened in Ottowa Gatineau let’s say at the Canadian Parliment Building, having killed thousands of innocent Canadian citizens, you may feel the same as I. Now before all of the god fearing people jump on my case, it’s funny how I have not heard one pastor, priest, pope or otherwise come out and begrudge what was done to UBL or the way it was done. In fact, I have watched 2 religious speakers and when asked about what was done and how the bible percieved this type of action, neither would stand on his beliefs and say they disagreed with what was done. Wouldn’t even address it straight forward. To me, this is a way of saying while they might not believe in the tactics they do believe it had to be done and are glad the planet is rid of this scum.

I believe in god and the constitution but sometimes there is a rule to every exception. Oh, and I certainly do believe there are others out there that are radicals and wish harm on not only the U.S. but all of North America and the west in general. They should be dealt with in the same fashion if they harm anyone of our citizens. This is my opinion and I believe a popular opinion here in the United States of America. (I WOULD LOVE TO POST AN AMERICAN FLAG EMETICON HERE IF THERE WERE ONE)!

No, no, no. I wasn’t insinuating that you didn’t care about it. Sorry, I simply meant that it was an attack on the USA and not Canada. I just was thinking that if it happened on Canadian soil, you may feel differently. Maybe not……. I know this type of thing happens all over the world on a much smaller level but until it a strike was set forth on US soil, I never really thought much about it. I personally think we should bow out and let these pigs kill themselves off. Less money, less casualties etc..

I am certainly not popping corks but I do find it a little weird that your happy he is dead but your not celebrating. Are they the same kind of? Maybe celebrating inside? I don’t know, everyone has a right to think what they think and believe what they believe. Im glad the POS is dead! I think we agree on that.
