Default osama bin laden

What does everyone think?

Is he truly dead?

Personally I don’t think he is, I mean when Saddam Hussein was killed they put him on show for everyone to see yet this time they have buried him at sea without anyone seeing and also now wont release images.

Yes he is.

Though as to why on earth they shot an unarmed man is another question altogether! Apparently he was resisting surrender.... ..what with - a man bag!!?

Madness.

Obvious really. Claim he died in a firefight, and removes the media frenzy and political nightmare/publicity of a trial.

Bury him at sea, so there's no body, no martyr potential and no future pilgrimages.

Could be last opportunity to use an Osama smiley

I think that there are questions to be asked all round, why were Pakistan harbouring him? Why are western nations hell bent on trying to convert the rest of the world to being democratic? Why is the UK Government sending taxpayers money to Pakistan when Bin Laden was living in £1million pound pad? (You'd think he'd at least have a swimming pool) If you believe in legal and just system, then that is what everyone irrespective of their alledged crimes is entitled to. To play judge, jury and executioner over a 40 minute rampage in a foreign country, does not sound very much like justice to me.
As the song goes, "you ain't seen nothing yet" and I have a sneaky little feeling quite a few people very shortly will also be visiting their maker, but it's always when you least expect it but that's terrorism for you....Hopefully there'll give London a miss this time, cos I hate sitting in traffic

But I don't think it's right for people to celebrate it, that's what they do upon acts of terrorism! We should not be like them, basically there's a good quote for this..

Quote;

"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.

there's a whole story about that quote, yeah I know, no need to tell me.

Default Greak quote Mike

Great quote Mike. I think that the words of MLK ring true in this context for sure. For those who lost loved ones, it is understandable that closure is key.

Imagine what the world would be like if we could all just get along and be tolerant of each others beliefs and stop killing in the name of God, any God.

Not had much success in the last couple of thousand years, and with a growing worldwide population, dwindling resources and more ongoing conflicts than we've ever had, it's not looking too promising..

This God bloke has a lot to answer for!

This is just my personal opinion. If Saddam Hussein was able to clone his face using his subordinates what more a leader with a lot of radical followers that are willing to put their life on the line and if they survive they will be receiving slightly the same privileges as the original Bin Laden... What can stop this probability? Will this be impossible if the follower of Bin Laden is in dire need to earn more money for his family? Especially if they were promised and guaranteed base on principles that their family will be taken care of.
