osama has been dead to me since september 11, 2001 so i dont need to see a body, good work obama god bless america
100% agreedI'm sure when the seals got him they were anything but gentle or respectful, but the way we treated his corpse is a show of our standards as a country. We're not the same as the people that crashed planes into the world trade towers, we value human life but are more than willing to take it when necessary. This just shows that we can still respect Islam and see the difference between that and what Osama preached. I think this was handled as best as could be expected. If we paraded him through the streets of NY it would have made us look very bad.
that's very true but sometimes i wish we could stoop down to their level for once,lets not forget the several be headings they did over the net for the world to watchPart of the reason we disposed the body, in the way that we did, was over how the bodies of Saddam Hussein's sons were handled. We took a lot of flack in the Islam world over that, so we didn't want it to happen again, even though some are upset that the body was thrown into the ocean.
some take in all the words but only listen to what they already want to hear.
I am glad that families of the fallen can put closure on this, including my own.
This won't make much of a difference to bin ladins terror network. He is now a martyr the highest honor he could have achieved. But, it took tens of thousands of lives on both sides, almost 10 years and over a trillion dollars that has bankrupted this nation and swayed political and social thought for years to come. Just for one man. Let us be thankful that this man has been removed. I would rather him rot in a dungeon and die a slow agonizing death as family members of his victims throw another rat in his cell. But, given what it took, i would not call this a victory. And i'm sure the families of fallen soldiers would agree, mine does.
