Most wanted terrorist rogue - eliminated

[Bonobo]

So, he is dead. He survived nearly 10 years after they started looking for him in 2001.
Will it help?

I am doubtful. Bin Laden, due to constant hunt for him, stopped being the top mastermind of most terrorist attacks in the world long ago. He only functioned as a certain symbol while strings were pulled somewhere else. Killing a symbol doesn`t matter for international terrorists because don`t act rationally - they are crazy - and their crazy fight will go on. Laden`s post won`t be vacant for too long.

It reminds me 1982 when Leonid Breshnev, the Soviet leader, died. Some people cried of joy openly, here in Poland. He became the symbol of the most aggressive acts of Soviet communism, like Prague Spring 1968, martial law in Poland 1981, Afghanistan.
Did his death change much? Nope. At least not for the next 3 years, when in 1985 Gorbachov came to power.

How do we know for sure he is dead? What is the proof? Could this not be just another plan of our leader to get votes? Who will take his place, if he is dead, someone worst?

Mike, you want to see his head on a spike? Like in the past, the ruler cried: Bring me his head! ;D ;D ;D

Yes, Obama is pure evil. ;D ;D ;D

Not worse. Another intelligent, pleasant looking, chap.

Do you like this one?

In the Polish culture forum I asked a few questions:

I still have doubts.
A special forces colonel on Polish TV said that the order was to kill, not capture Bin Laden. The mission and the reconaissance before it were so professionally prepared that capturing the terrorist wasn`t a problem.

Yet, Americans prefered to kill him.

Why? Why would Obama rather have him dead than in prison?

It reminds me of the outrage provoked by Russian President, Putin, a few years ago, after he declared tracking down and ruthless elimination of the terrorists responsible for attacks. The indignant world asked: what about the law?

I can imagine that his trial and capital punishment or life sentence would be a long-lasting pretext for his followers to organise new attacks in the campaign under the slogan "Free Bin Laden now!"
But now he is dead and sunk, there is hope they might calm down for a while. ;D ;D ;D

Still, is it OK when a superpower murders its enemy and his family in that way? Is it legal? Isn`t it state terrorism?
It would be OK if GW Bush was still the president. But Obama, doing such things? That is unbecoming....

I feel very little emotion about his death. Neither joy nor saddness. I am slightly suprised by this.

Our leader, Obama, did not want him alive, in fear, what he may have said, and the names he could have given, and most important, he, Obama, would have been on one of his list.

I was watching TV when I heard about Osama. It was the first time when I saw that people were happy because someone died. I don't think that it will change something. People in the world can be more sceard because it's not over wars and attacs. It's a begining because they killed the leader.

He was an actor in the play of the century.

I heard in the news that they found new leader. It will start again and it's not over.
