I wonder who the next Enemy Of The State (Therefore The World) will be.

Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck... Fox news is wall to wall hilarity.

Voight-Kampff: Do you really think that the seal team went in there specifically to kill the man?
Yes.

That's your average serial killer you're thinking about. Hardly any war is fought without backing it up with propaganda, nowhere, ever. You wouldn't get that much people to join your cause if it was only about bloodshed for its own sake.
Yes, but then people tend to make propaganda out of everything. Whatever you do, there is always some weird way how your doing can be clearly seen as devils work.

Even with a legal process in the end he would be hanged or something. A martyr he will be for everybody who wants him to be a martyr.

Uh... yeah, it kind of bugs me. Can be just about anyone...

Well, we still have Hamas and Iran, so no need to worry about it yet. =)
Meh. That's all i have left to say on the matter after 10 years, a few occupations, and 3 pages of what makes me disappointed in and ashamed to be human.
Body dumped at sea before any photos could be taken? It's the moon landing all over again ...
That piece of trash will not be missed. Glad, yes, GLAD to see him gone but it's mostly a feel-good. The organizations will continue to do the bad things they do, and we will continue to spend treasury and lives in a futile attempt to end it, sometimes with equally bad results.

Where's Rodney King when we need him?

Still no good reason to provide them with excellent material. How can we pretend to promote constitutional democracy, separation of powers, humanism and human rights if we don't really believe in them ourselves and in the end it boils down to an eye for an eye? How is that any different from the attitudes of the people we fight against?

I'm not saying that is what the operation was all about but the way it is celebrated by some makes it seem like that and in my opinion that's really unworthy of a civilized society. This isn't so much about the monster Bin Laden but about the way we see and present ourselves. If it's true he used a woman as shield, how come noone is regretting her death and instead everyone is rejoicing because innocent lives were avenged? For all we know she might have been an innocent civilian, too, someone's mother, daughter or sister. To celebrate death while others are mourning, I find that very irreverent and disturbing, to say the least. And I don't believe it will solve anything.

And people will believe it, again.
Oh, why the hell not...everyone else has something to say about it.

Assuming all that we've heard about Bin-Laden is true, then of course I'm glad someone finally got him. I don't know the whole story, and I don't really care either. What I do care about is that he was responsible for taking so many American lives with the 9/11 attack, and that we entered into an unrelated, unwarranted war with someone else that cost us even more American lives (and other innocent lives) rather than focusing on Bin-Laden. And I'm not being Anti-Republican for saying that, because I am equally unimpressed by the current Democrats who haven't pulled us out of Iraq yet either. Take all the lives of Americans who were killed in Iraq for no good reason, add them to the lives of Americans who were killed while actively seeking Bin-Laden, and ask yourself...did enough of America's citizens die to ensure no more American citizens have to die?

Seriously, why does the American government care so much about being in the Middle East to begin with? Let the Middle Eastern nations wage war with each other all they want, but with our government constantly sticking our noses (which equates to other American's lives) into the goings-on of nations on another continent for %*@#'s sake, is it any wonder they hate us over there??

/rant

P.S. I'm doing something unusual, which is to not proofread my post first. Its a frustrated rant & that's it. My concern is for the lives of the innocents, and I will not follow our government blindly in voicing my concerns for my fellow American citizens.

Hear, hear! I very much like your post. It might be a good basis for the future. However I also believe that propaganda will be spread either way. And you see from the comments here and everywhere that actually not so many people are celebrating and if they are celebrating than it's connected to 9/11...

I know there are strong feelings about this, and that a lot of people have died because of him. However speaking from a country that does not support capital punishment, I think it is a sad day for Britain when our prime minister celebrates someone being killed as "a great success".

Maybe it was necessary because of the situation, but it's not, in my opinion, "the British way" to applaud such a result.
