It won't bring back the dead, and will just provoke outrage elsewhere.<br /><br />Simon, politicians, as you know, play a power game, and there's probably nothing else they can do. I'm not much of a conspiracy buff, but the timing of this is somewhat coincidental. I have a feeling they knew where he was for a long time. He wasn't going anywhere, so it was just a matter of time. As for Osama getting his comeupance... as they say, live by the sword, die by the sword. I'm no advocate of the death penalty, but in this case execution is the most sane way to deal with the case. A capture and trial would have caused much commotion, and resulted in considerable violence and loss of life down the track. Any burial would have left a shrine to hatred, and any release of photos of a dead Osama would also create havoc (esp. as half his head was probably blown off). There are no easy solutions with this case.Marcus T.

Will he have the balls now to tell the people to put it behind them? <br /><br />Having said that, OBL very consciously chose the path of hatred and division, so there's a kind of karmic justice in what's happened to him - or would you not see it that way?Simonbuchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11156813556822714480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5686500107282182587.post-46094015712983260212011-05-03T09:06:08.361-07:002011-05-03T09:06:08.361-07:00Well said.

But celebrating the assassination of anyone seems goulish.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13178290697351352495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5686500107282182587.post-44575522304932918142011-05-02T23:50:51.159-07:002011-05-02T23:50:51.159-07:00This is well stated.
