Osama blah blah blah you know the story.

[Valiere]

Fair enough, but we've been remembering and mourning for 10 years.

I think people should react to bin Laden's death however they please.

[Archem]

The way I see it, celebrating his death is remembering all those who have died because of him to so many people. Why do they even celebrate to begin with? It's because he's taken so much away, and they feel that his death is the price payed in blood that, while not exactly making up for the tragedies, certainly helps by bringing some closure. It's important to try and see things from every perspective before judging and criticizing.

The way I see it, good riddance. Osama was an awful human being who murdered and tortured countless thousands of people, and organized suicide terrorist, such as 9/11, to kill thousands more.

I feel no sympathy for such a man.

I do wonder why everyone is so quick to say, "that was so worth it".

More than a trillion dollars, a million lives, ten years of war, countless victims of PTSD (which is damaging beyond belief). On top of all that, like Drag said, how much will this really change anything? I just don't know if I can really believe it was all worth it.

I am almost disgusted by people's reactions to this. I mean, act anyway you want, I don't care, but it's like if you could give one of these crowds his head on a spike, they'd march around with it happily, not seeing anything wrong with that.

Also, people are just so violently intolerant to any opinion that isn't "hooray, Osama's dead!" It's just scary.

And that's my two cents. Also, Obama's speech wasn't that bad.

[Valiere]

I do agree 100% that it was hardly "worth it."

Well, some people are considering an eye for an eye, but an eye for an eye makes the world go blind. (Not sure if anyone said that yet, but whatever.) As stated already, there are a ton of people waiting to take his place.

Also, there was a controversy about his burial at sea? If I remember correctly, wasn't it because Islamic tradition has to have the body buried within 24 hours and no country would take his body?

Speaking of his burial, what happened to the bodies of people like Hitler, Saddam Hussein, and the likes?

This rebuttal quote is only said by people that haven no idea what "an eye for an eye" means. Which is basically everyone >_>

[fruckert]

PS, that was Ghandi.
Who said the "Eye for an eye makes the whole world go blind."

But yeah.

It meant something like "You kill a slave we cut your arm off", yes?

[Razor]

I thought it was "the punishment should fit the crime"

you killed 3 guys? You get killed. 3 times.

It's only a matter of time before we figure out how to raise people from the dead, and then yes, we can kill people as many times as we'd like

[drenrin2120]

Oh boy, Osama dead x12976?

[Razor]

I think it would be something like Itchy's cloning machine, where it makes a brand new clone and the conveyer belt takes into into a killing machine.

No one knows what happened to Hitler's body.

I believe Saddam was burned, but I could be wrong. If anyone knows, I'd be interested.

Honestly, it's a good thing he's gone, and let the people celebrate. He was more a figure head than a actual threat now, but, he still represented a lot to the terrorists, as a man who got away with it.

As far as the billions spent, etc. Remember that Osama was never EVER in Iraq, which is where 90% of that money went. Afghanistan has been held more by Canadian, and British troops while the Americans fought in Iraq to find weapons of mass destruction...

The flaw is that it loses all the fun that way.

p. sure the first allies on the scene burned Hitler's corpse.
