If you're going to kill him regardless, what's the point of delaying the inevitable? Show trials are nothing more than sick jokes, and I don't like false pretenses. It's a waste of time for both sides.

If we did not kill Osama Bin Laden on sight, putting him on trial would have turned him into a martyr. Since there was no public video of his execution, the death of Osama is out of sight and out of mind. Watching Obama stand trial would have enraged and motivated his followers.
Look a Jesus Christ as an example. Since Rome judged and executed him publicly, Jesus became a messiah and martyr for Christianity. Get it?
Do you want the same thing to happen to Osama?
Remember, Osama is a religious radical.

You don't believe in the founding ideas of America. And frankly you'd have to be a totalitarian thug. The fact that Barack the MURDERER Obama was not arrested immediately is a sign that most Americans have sick and twisted moral values.

Give it up already. OBL died in 2001.
There is no proof or evidence OBL was even involved in 9/11.
