Osama is Dead
Ghostrider 02 May 2011
So many resources towards the death of one man, it's pretty shocking. Also, people are partying on campus outside and shouting "USA, USA." xD

Well, it only took ten years . But still, congratulations to the US forces for getting him. I hope the berieved ones from the 9/11 attacks can find some consolation from this.

It would of been both a far more humane and far more sensible idea to capture him and try him for crimes against humanity rather than simply assassinate him. Aren't Western countries supposed to support the rule of law? I guess that's too much to expect from the country that runs Guantanamo.
My personal opinion is if you think an assassination is justice you are deluded. Celebrating over somebody's death regardless of how 'evil' you deem them to be is extremely saddening.

Are you sure you ain't thinking of something else yet somewhat similar? (I think this is right?) According to international law, assassination of the Head of State is against the laws of nations, however Osama wasn't.
But yeah I understand what you mean, despite what he has done, aren't Democracies supposed to give him a right to a trial? If I remember right Saddam was given one but was hanged afterwards for his war crimes.
Just my take on things. Wasn't intending to involve politics, sorry if I did.

The US acts on its moral high horse when it really isn't terribly far from the bottom of the heap.

Don't all countries do this? England tested Mustard gas on Indian (or Australian? Don't remember) soldiers. Denmark forced german soldiers after WW2 to take a walk through the landmine-filled beaches. All nations do wierd shit sometimes. America is no exception. It's just that they're the big man (thus their faults get noticed), and we're the little man.

I'm certain on one thing, Chyros.
If humanity as a whole as capable of 'moving on', none of us, and I mean, none of, would be here, typing this very moment.
I hope you won't ask me to explain, because I simply have no idea what I said.

There are reasons beyond this that attribute themselves to that fact, though this could very well be one of the minor reasons.
I doubt this whole event. I would more likely believe he died of kidney failure than being gunned down, defending himself. Osama's death doesn't solve anything, and to a larger extent, it probably will make things worse. How convenient that his body was buried at sea, and within a 24 hour block of time. There are too many aspects about this event that can be fabricated that cause me to seriously doubt it all.
If Osama's dead, where does this end? What's going to happen next?
I'm guessing because now that Osama's "dead", the US had just placed a target on its forehead. I say this, because this morning, a city in my state has shut down its entire lower section because of a bomb threat. Streets and businesses in the area have been closed until the threat has been investigated.

Well, according to everything I've read, they attempted to take him alive. He died in a firefight with DevGru operators- that's not an assassination. I'd rather you get off your high horse, and stop taking every opportunity you have to bash America, maybe do a little research instead.

I don't know where it goes from here, but I do believe he was killed by American special operators, apparently acting on intelligence from Pakistani intelligence. It certainly does open us up from retribution, but would it be better that a man responsible for the deaths of thousands lives on plotting the deaths of even more? War is a horrible thing, but, as much bad as it may bring, I do believe that removing Osama from the equation is ultimately for the better of everyone.
