Re: Bin Laden dead
They should have wrapped him in bacon and used his body for a public urinal in a gay Jewish nightclub frequented by the IDF...

Re: Bin Laden dead
Instead of killing the f**ker, they should have made him do airport security 20 times a day for the next 20 years. He's made my life a misery! I'd put him in 20 hole boots, a belt, give him a lap-top hidden in a bag with lots of other stuff, coins, keys and other metal objects (not a gun or knife, though - you know how they re-offend ...) and march him back forth through the bleepy machine until he went clinically insane. That would teach him a lesson. B**tard.

Except this way he becomes a martyr for his followers and gets his 72 virgins

Re: Bin Laden dead
Had he been arrested, put on trial, found guilty and sentenced to death under the US legal system. it could have been years until sentence was carried out. It would have cost literally millions of dollars with, God only knows, all types of other problems arising. In this situation the soldiers may well have been ordered to assassinate him. The world is well rid of him.

Re: Bin Laden dead
And lets not forget no doubt there would have been numerous threats by various groups of his supporters to blow up buses of small children and other innocents until he was released. His immediate death was the only logical course, however fair or unfair, that may have been.

Re: Bin Laden dead
And where would you propose that this trial was to take place?
He would have been a martyr if he died naturally. Al-Quacko would just say he gave his life expenditures to the rid the world of the evil powers of the world.
BTW that is precedent. I also note that you don't say that the trials that have been held in the US for Islamic Terrorists/Murders had set a precedent. Guess that was just a quirk of the judical system.

Re: Bin Laden dead
This and the recent Libyan events don't sit comfortably with me.
PS I can say that because I am married to a Canuck who agrees
PPS I do agree with you, however. The recent events in the Middle East are very troubling. Makes you want to find that cave that Laden should have been in and roll the stone in front of it until the smoke clears.

Re: Bin Laden dead
The man killed 1000's of people with his influence because he was revered so much. They hijacked not just one, but several aeroplanes with the singular intent to crash them to kill as many people as possible. How many more people do you think they would have killed to secure his freedom? For radicals that kill innocent people in the name of their god, regardless of religion, there is never a point where they think to themselves "hey wait a minute, perhaps we're going too far here.......maybe we should just call it a day." They would have killed innocent people from every nation under the sun, if they thought it might secure his freedom, right up until the point where he was executed. Dont be so naive.
