this man had admitted to orchestrating the Sept 11 attacks. He was an active, international criminal and terrorist. He was very much an enemy of your way of life. I'm all for law and order - my job as a sergeant was enforcing standards and regs. OBL was a special case, a special situation. Dont lose any sleep because he was shot in the head.
Your american concept of "justice" doesn't extend very far outside the US borders. In most of the world, and according to most of the world's population, this was in fact "justice". The people inspired by OBL would and will gladly fucking cut off your head, the heads of your families and everyone you know, just to get some airtime on network TV. OBL and his ilk are very much like rabid dogs and the manson family rolled into one. They have their own ideals and concepts, and you breathing is a major offense to them.
You cant mix apples and automotive parts. Going to his level would have meant carpet bombing that neighborhood. Going with your "ideals" we would have brought him to the US to stand trial. We met somewhere in the middle - ground troops, close quarters and NO US casualties. I really wonder why anyone is not OK with that.
