Seems to me like the solider who put a bullet into this fucks head just saved the world and his country form potential mass rioting, and wasting shit load of your tax money that we really can't afford to waste

I mean, one less thing to bitch about, wouldnt wanna do that
 
I have a son, and a job, and all the real problems you're talking about. No one was expecting 9/11 to happen, and when it did, it shattered a lot of our lives. You fear the unexpected. I can control (to a point), my money, and my job, and my life. I, however, cannot control when some whackjob terrorist decides he wants to drive a taxi full of explosives into a building I may be sitting in. It's not a crippling fear, but it's a far from irrational fear. Especially living so close to NYC, and being there so often.
Yes. It is. Life is one unexpected thing after another. Rolling with the punches is part of the game. If you're afraid of terrorism on American soil, you might as well be saying you're afraid of life itself. So who needs that razor now?

Truth: If I had the choice between a dead Osama and a live Osama, I'd choose a dead Osama every time. I still don't think it's that big a deal though.
 
I'll be interested to learn the official justification for the kill over capture directive. Even in his massively diminished capacity one would think that he would have been something of an intelligence goldmine.

Will be an interesting one for the historians to debate.
 
If that does happen, at least I won't have spent what little time I had on this Earth thinking it's my patriotic duty to be weary of whatever boogeyman has done this to me. I'll have spent it dealing with real problems. Like keeping my head above water financially or protecting my loved ones in a decaying urban environment. I'm sorry if letting those things rent more space in my head than some asshole in a Pakistani cave mansion pisses on your parade, but clearly someone needs to be a realist for you people.

Of course judging by your overemotional response to my last post, you're not going to be one for cold, mature reality.

Damn, I got to spread some rep around before giving it to Coco again. I think you nailed perfectly the reasons why I feel nothing for this particular news. Sure, it brings a closure to a dark chapter in US history, but we've been plagued by so many more pressing and intimate problems since 9/11 that this feels like putting a band-aid on a gaping, festering wound.

I'm not saying that this isn't a significant event in world history (it most definitely is), but it has absolutely no affect on me. If that makes me unpatriotic, so be it.

Its cool man, if it doesnt do anything for you, personally, then no reaction necessary.

But to shit on people who it does, DEEPLY affect, having an emotional response to it, is a pretty extreme fucking dick move, is it not?
 
its cool. Those who do nothing but talk, and worry about themselves, may continue to do so, as they have done the entire time.
 
Oh, you mean soldiers are also against Osama? Well, I was ambivalent before but now I think this is the greatest thing ever. After all, if I don't fall in line with the troops then I clearly hate America. Or something.
 
Seriously. The fuck ARE you talking about, Coco?

It read like an unsubtle poke at America's uberpatriotism that causes as many problems as it solves and how anything is acceptable when dressed up in the Stars and Stripes particularly when the military is involved.

But that is just my cynical historian's eye talking
 
Some are being rather *******, no?

-I cannot speak for anyone else, but finding joy in the death of OBL had nothing to do with my fear of terrorism. More than likely, terrorism will never have a direct impact on my life. However, I'm an American citizen, so it matters. I'm sure it also matters to members of the other 90 (or so) coutries who lost people on 9/11/2001. Celebrating the death of a man who murdered thousands of people, and if given the chance, would kill millions, is completely justified.

-Capturing him? Yes, because that was a logical, probable outcome, right? This man was not going to be taken alive, so what other route could have been taken? Two options were on the table: A. Kill him -or- B. Let him walk. That's it. I prefer justice, personally.

-And this was about justice, not revenge. He took the credit for several major attacks, and with that comes the responsibility. Killing that pile of shit was the only option, and it needed to happen.

-Will this change anything, moving forward? Probably not. This won't hurt al-Qaeda, it won't cripple their outfit, or anything of the sort. Again, that's not what this is about.

There's really nothing to complain about here. Nothing at all.

DOUBLE POST (obviously)- Please delete.
 
I dont understand what trial he was to have. He would have put to death anyway, you ask Sadaam Huessein if we hadnt killed his bitch ass too.

He HAD a trial, in public, and he confessed, over video, to the world, rather proudly as well. Death Sentance.

Not to mention capturing him alive was basically impossible. Not something he would just go along with.
 
Still a few hours since I've posted, and I'm still Euphoric as all hell. If I'm a barbarian, I don't care.

Oh, no problems at all. Be proud, soak it up. I wish I could have killed him myself with a fucking war-hammer, splattering his face all over the fucking floor.
