Bin Laden is dead!

Re: Bin Laden is dead!

People seem to be making a big deal about the fact that he was unarmed. So what? Put a bullet in his head and be done with him. Keeping him on US soil or at Gitmo is just asking for trouble.

Agreed, although I wonder what kind of information we could've gotten had we taken him alive.

Re: Bin Laden is dead!

i am extremely happy by the news but i did not "celebrate" I lost 4 people in 9/11 (2 family members which were a cousin and an aunt and 2 close family friends) but we must consider these words

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that." -Martin Luther King, Jr.

For those curious, this is the man to thank for founding "Seal Team Six" back in 1980- Richard Marcinko:




I've read some of his books, the Rogue Warrior series, and yes, he's THAT bada**!

Damn I wouldn't want to be on his bad side.

Re: Bin Laden is dead!

Just a quick perspective on the "celebrating."

I was in high school when 9/11 happened. 10 years can make us forget the feelings and give us time to repress the shock and anger we felt. Think of it in terms of the symbolism: The greatest monument to American financial power was brought down in a cloud of dust and blood. We saw bankers on the top floors jump to their death rather than be engulfed by the inferno behind them. We heard panicked and heartwrenching phone calls of people in those buildings scream "I DON'T WANT TO DIE. I'M NOT READY TO DIE."

We saw the symbol of American military might plowed into, killing hundreds of civilian and servicemen/women. We heard the horrible and heroic story and phone calls of Flight 93 as they accepted their fate and sacrificed their own lives to save others. We saw a symbol of American business and leisure, the airplane, turn into a missle. We visualized what the last moments must have been like for the passengers who were on the flights that hit the towers.

Fast forward 10 years later.

We've seen Osama Bin Laden repeatedly taunt us from afar, gloating of his superiority and invinceability. For many Americans, this bastard being loose was a sign of our collective weakness. We ask ourselves, in this economy, with these wars, are America's best days behind us? We can't capture the guy that killed thousands of Americans?!

Then we finally get the vindication we've been looking for. We finally kill the bastard that took innocent lives in the name of some deranged mentality. And finally, we show the rest of the world that, yes, The United States of America is still the good guy, we are the baddest-assed mofos on the planet, and if you kill our people, we will kill you. You can count on it.

So pardon them for getting emotional and wanting to release those feelings.

For those comparing the images of the people celebrating in the ME after 9/11, you are simply stupid for trying. America doesn't kill innocent people. We spend BILLIONS of dollars to create precision guided weapons to prevent such collateral damage. We put our own soldier's lives at risks with preposterous rules of engagement because we value human life.

They don't. They strap bombs to themselves and kill civilians shopping at the market. They behead journalists to make a point. They drag corpses of Americans through the streets, pissing on the body.

They are effing scum, and the world is a lot better off without that jerkhole running around flaunting it in our face.
