It's NOT about whether anyone DESERVES a trial, it is IMPERATIVE in any civilised society that EVERYONE be given a fair trial before being sentenced, and especially before being executed.
It's the LAW which has to be adhered to under all circumstances. If not, dangerous precedents are set and that can get out of control. The only thing that protects citizens from tyranny is proper adherence to the constitution and the rule of law and there should ne NO exceptions.
If you condone execution without trial, you're condoning mob rule, which is what dictatorships are. One day that might just come back and bite you on the bum.

So... You are saying he's excused from a trial because you say so.
So on your big man logic. Nobody should piss off the US (not because you guys are terrorists) but because you'll just kill anyone who disagrees with you.
And then you wonder why MOST of the world despises your country. It's not jealousy, it's pity.
Some (not all) , some of you people are worse than the people you fight against. And nobody trusts you.

Go read some books. Learn a little about world history.
Honestly, despite what you may have been told, educating yourself isn't painful. It just means you may have to pry yourself away from you television and possibly learn how to shut your gaping, drooling mouth.
Fool.

You're right... maybe we should have flown him over first class and put him up in the Waldorf Astoria and treated him just like he treated us. Do you really think he should have been the right of due process???
Even if he was the one to commit the act. Radical Islam (not all Islamic followers) stands against and kills because they don't subscribe to our freedoms. Why should we expected to offer them a right they are willing to kill for?
There is no easy answser to this... I think that is on thing we can agree on!

Well didn't you treat his family to first class flights out of the country , they ONLY people in the air after 9/11 (the bit before you invaded and butchered the WRONG country)...
So by slaying radical Islam, that makes you somehow better than radical Islam.
Because from my point of view. It makes YOU exactly the same as radical islam.

My simple grammatical error obviously makes you completely correct in your outlandish and xenophobic opinion. How silly of me.

For someone who claims by implication to be educated, your semantics error reveals the truth.edit on 6-5-2011 by Blarneystoner because: (no reason given)
The English terms despite and in spite of are synonyms. Despite might be a tiny bit more formal, but the two terms are interchangeable. Just be careful not to say something like "despite of" or "in despite" - it's always either the three words in spite of, or just the single word despite.

Government??? whose???? Try the Rogue group known as the Taliban whom would just as soon cut someones
tongue out as look at you. The Taliban worshiped Bin Laden. Google what his son Omar thought of his own father
and the atrocities his daddy committed.
Use some common sense please. What is the worst thing you think Bin Laden did?
Pax
An act of war? Which country declared this?

How about the dozens and dozens of videos he released where he talks about killing all of us infidels?
How about his support for terrorist acts committed against us on camera?
That's all the proof I need to determine if he's bad or not.
