I have listened to many people around me express great joy that Osama bin Laden was executed. Even someone I respected, a candidate for Lt. Governor of my state, who I believed to be intelligent and compassionate, called me a traitor and demanded I leave, because I simply expressed my opinion that I believe that bin Laden should have been captured and tried, instead of executed.
I was taking the mick - I didn't realise you were actually upset about my comment. I take my apology back - you need to harden up mate.

I agree. It's highly questionable that they ADMIT to killing him, even though he wasn't armed. And the fact the POTUS is calling the killing "Justice" really sets of alarm bells.
Killing is never 'justice'.

No offense meant to americans, I love you guys, and my gf is from Wisconsin. But even as a canadian, hearing about people celebrating and dancing in the streets because of the death of one man is a little sickening.
On the other hand I don't think all american people are really that bloodthirsty, I think for the most part they have been portrayed to be for a reason.
a. a person who employs terror or terrorism, esp as a political weapon
1. systematic use of violence and intimidation to achieve some goal

If we really did, assassinate Osama, we didn't take any proper procedure.
