86. Its not about either killing him or taking him to trial
the question is whether or not America has any right to be conducting covert military operations in a country that does not want us there. I simply dont understand why America had anything to do with this, other than being some fucked up vengeance plot.

All I know is that the people of Pakistan dont want the American military operating in their country and I think its fucked up that we think we can ignore the will of the Pakistani people and go in and kill criminals we dont like in their country just because.

The people who are applauding Bin Ladin's death are in essence supporting our current foreign policy and the idea that America has the right to police the world and take our military into any country who harbors people we dont like regardless of what the people of that country actually want.
