Osama Bin Laden is dead

As I saw posted elsewhere, you can kill a man but you can't kill an idea.

For that we have to kill lots of people, but it's worth it.

The 'terrorists' are thinking the same thing.

^ Good point

Can't be done. Simply killing enemies only creates more enemies. Kill one enemy, and you'll turn his family and friends into your new enemies.

In reality, Obama has probably become stronger in death than he was alive. Now, he's a martyr.

Wow. I'm no fan of Obama, but cripes. Apologies if I offended anyone.!

Bin Laden killed over 3000 innocent people in those towers on 9/11/2001. I feel no sorrow or remorse over his death. He lived by the sword and died by the sword. If there is an afterlife, I hope he surely rots in hell.

Really? As has been stated above there is very little evidence that Bin Laden had anything to do with 9/11....this is according to the FBI. Bin Laden was trained to use the sword by US officials....this according to the CIA.

And I think America has killed more innocent civilians in their 'war on terror' than those who were killed on 9/11. But we were doing it spread to McDonald's and democracy across the Middle-East, so it's okay....sigh.

You go ahead and believe that crap. Yes, he has denied it, but later he also took credit for it too. Name me a government that hasn't had it's hands in clandestine operations that killed some innocent folk. I hate to see it, but it does happen. McDonald's does just fine on it's own killing people without ever needing the U.S. Government to fire a single shot.

I had written out paragraphs of information...then I remembered AGD's much repeated quote....you can't tell someone something they don't want to hear.

However, I will say, your "killed some innocent folk" line is more sad than funny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDVfNMD_-6Q&feature=related....just one example of MANY of how sick the American Government has become. Hundreds of thousands of innocent folk have died since the start of these wars....FAR, FAR more than had died on 9/11....and FAR FAR FAR more will die in the future.

Rab, fodder off! Thank you very much for trying to tell me what to think and believe. You will not change my mind no matter what you spout off. My country men died for no other reason than mad men hijacking planes and flying them into buildings. Though I am not religious, I am more of an eye for an eye person than turn the other cheek. President Obama absolutely made the right call to take him out.

Relevance? Did you happen to read the warnings at the top of the page?

Bin Laden masterminded an attack that killed three thousand people. Since Governor Bush(yes, you read that right) had the brilliant idea of sending us to Iraq, about four thousand more Americans have been killed. And nobody wants to tell us how many innocent men, women, and children Iraqi citizen's were killed, because lets face it, it makes for very bad PR in The White House. Yes, we killed one of the essential elements of Al-Quida. Another huge victory on the American war against terrorism. But I have to ask myself, was it really worth it? Find the cost of freedom, buried in the ground.

Call me paranoid.   Didn't this go on an awfully long time after OBL took up residence in that compound?  Seems it might be someones political agenda that the hit happened now.  Just seems odd somehow.

I'm merely stating the bleedin' obvious - I'm not asking or telling you to believe it. Name one thing I've said that's false, then you can justifiably tell me to f*** off.

The only reason I started looking into these wars is because years ago good friends of mine were called to serve over there multiple times. I became interested in the why because of this. I didn't start questioning these wars just to piss people off. I did it because I couldn't justify my support based solely on what FoxNews told me. The world is not black and white.

With profound apologies to Peter Gabriel for taking his brilliant lyric out of context:

"You can blow out a candle
But you can't blow out a fire
Once the flames begin to catch
The wind will blow it higher"

@rab

I never said that I supported the Iraq War. My feelings were strictly on Bin Laden. As much as I hate to admit, humans are terrible killers. As long as humans rule the world, there will never be world peace. Just in my lifetime I doubt that there has been at least one year where some kind of war or genocide hasn't taken place. Not to mention just the everyday killings that happen everyday between everyday people. It is appalling, but it is the way it's been since the time of man began.

I'm glad the fu*ker's dead.

[rab2591]

I only referenced the Fallujah video to show how the great peacekeeper America is fighting its wars. And even if we are just talking about Afghanistan, tens of thousands of innocent civilians have been killed there since we invaded. And as long as people say that humans will never be at peace then that stupidly justifies our right to continue the killing. We cheer in the streets over the death of a former CIA asset who killed for us. We cheer in the streets when we kill a man who was supposedly making WMDs - when we gave him WMDs in the first place! I think my cynicism of the US government is justified.

Okay, back to the main board....and then we'll get to know world peace.....
