    Same here. I do not condone Bin Laden in any way, shape or form, but I also never find happiness in anyone's death.

    The poster child is gone, eh?

    Well, I definitely hope someone (and maybe many) who was directly affected by the acts of 9/11 find some type of closure through the death of this cog. The feelings associated to this figure range from the lowest to the highest of emotions, some good & some bad, but at the end of the day the world (we know) is a better place without him.

    not one of our forces were injured in a 40 minute gun battle?

    and the body was disposed of immediately ... tossed in the ocean??

    just saying.... proof?

    And I would rather he was taken alive and tried for his crimes... no celebrating here for me.


    Yeah he was in a mansion - a compound with a wall and barbed wire and guards-
    in a town just north of the capital
    and they landed in there, shot and killed him, his son, a woman (who was apparently used as a human shield) and two other messengers or something

    they took the body to afghanistan and then buried it in the sea after asking Saudi Arabia who refused to take it

    I too would have preferred a trial - as many others would, just to get some info from him
    and proof but at the same time
    But what's done has been done and now I'm worried for the future, for those who will seek revenge

    Yep - it's sad that the cycle of revenge never stops. It will never end until one side decides not to seek revenge....or one side is gone completely. It's sad.

    What if they were to murder someone very close to you?

    I've found that my life is a lot better after I decided not to worry about things I can't control and ESPECIALLY things that haven't happened and are VERY LIKELY not to happen.

    What happens, will happen. NO amount of worry will change it. It will only be precious time on earth that you lost worrying for no reason.

    Trial would be what I would want... and rot in some filthy cell.


    But you know I am not convinced he's dead until I see a real photo. But that's just me.
    I need proof.

    I had always hoped too that Princess Di and John Kennedy Jr were wisked away to some lovely island to enjoy their lives peacefully, without the press at them every minute. Too bad that's probably not the case.

    If I was an American tax payer i'd be pissed to have to go through the expense of what would be a long trial and then having to feed and house the guy for the rest of his life, and you know he wouldn't be in some filthy cell. He would be in some plush highly secure cell cause there's is no way he would be in some general population prison.

    Unless they gave him the chair or whatever you kids do for capital punishment these days.

    I cannot wait for the Hollywood film on this event...

    Starring:

    Denzel Washington as Barrack Obama
    Matt Damon as the chief military dude behind the strategic planning and execution of the operation.
    and....Jack Black as Osama Bin Laden.

    Sure. I would expect fake photos to be rampant on the web right now.

    He's dead.

    I know. Think about how much money, time and resources were spent just to murder this one man.
