95. I'm having a hard time with sympathy for OBL
He didn't take away our freedoms. Bush may have tried as best he could. Bush failed.

OBL being dead does not take away our freedoms.

There is a war going on - the rule of law fails in a war. You can't expect opposing forces to refrain from "murdering" you in a war.

Why not try all of our soldiers for every death they caused then? Many of the Iraqis who died were innocent.

We can't ignore the realities. We don't like wars, but if we are in one, we can't act like we are in the midst of civilization.
