100. It isn't about OBL. Who cares about him? Most people had
Edited on Fri May-06-11 06:44 PM by sabrina 1
already forgotten him. He had no influence in the Arab World as the uprisings there have revealed, proving as many of us always suspected, that OBL was never a big hero with hoardes of followers anywhere. Most young Arabs want a decent life, they are not looking to blow themselves up for some old guy who is clearly a bit insane. He probably never had any more influence there than people like Timothy McVeigh did here.

Like McVeigh, he is accused of a major crime. We are told to shake in our shoes and not to even think of applying our justice system to this crime, just 'kill him'. We can't have a trial, {{{{{shudder}}}}}. We might upset some extremists somwhere. Who cares if they are upset? Do we run our country now based on a small group of insane people's opinions?

For HIM killing him was a good thing, but for this country, it was not. We never get any answers, no investigation of 9/11, no open trials of those accused of that crime. We are told we can't, because it would all be too traumatic and/or dangerous for us.

Sorry, but that is not the kind of country I want to live in. We CAN conduct trials of well-known terrorists, Clinton did it with the Blind Sheid, Rahman in NYC.

So, what happened to this country if OBL did not win what Bush said was what he wanted most? Why the fear, the decision that now we should BECOME OBL and rather than utilize our justicial system just throw it all away and shoot suspects, like any other third world country?

Very sad, even more so because so many Americans now think this is justice.
