[PrawnSkunk]

yesterday, before Obama's announcement, this flooded my newsfeed on facebook and I thought it was a hoax.

okay

1: PotUS isn't just a figurehead he's got mad powers like whaaaaaaaat

tho personally i don't think photographic evidence is in any way reliable since 1988

Hide and go seek champion: Osama 2001-2011

But on a serious note, I personally feel like some people (or most) that he deserved it. He threatened something big, and when you threaten something as big as the U.S your bound to be found and well...taken care of. All in all, Osama threatened loads of lives, and payed the price.

That being said...found this out at work last night. It was probably the best news I ever heard.

Someone's mad.

[A2P]

he financed mostly everything with his family fortune of hundreds of millions of dollars...

which we should take to pay off our debts. we might as well seeing that it'll just disappear and get invested into terrorism again. it's the american way to take

Edit: Wait, so after reading some articles I wonder. Will this affect our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan? I don't feel like being happy for 2 years over this, I think our troops should be coming back in the near future. That way we don't spend billions of dollars on military stuff we don't need.

((EDIT: Gahh. This post is serious again. Please, everyone forgive me. I'm a government major with international focus. This is like... an addiction to me. I physically cannot resist posting this nonsense. After this I'm going to take up crack to distract. ))

Here's a hypothetical that I heard some professor talking about. I'm not going to throw this out as undeniable. I'm still giving this theory some thought. Feel free to fight this one so I can be more informed.

Al-Qaeda always had comparatively large factions and sub-groups around the world. One of the most effective results of targeting leadership figures and the like in Afghanistan in the area is that the factions have since broken away. Now cut off from a central, powerful organizing force, which acts as both a recruiting agency and a sense of legitimacy, those groups around the world have since changed their formation. No, the violence of these groups haven't gone away but now they're easier to isolate and their goals are more localized. For instance, rather then someone like Osama organizing a grand war against western aggression, it becomes a fight to promote something in the government. (usually institutionalizing radical religious ideologies or what have you. Its just an example. Deal with it.) This is easier to appease and deal with rather then 'kill people to demoralize the american government.'

So perhaps things are changing.

Yeah but it's also the death of a human being who is responsible for thousands of other's human beings' death. You honestly think he deserves to live after what he's responsible for? Shady bro...

You know they've sent in his DNA for testing, and it matched the one with his sister, who had died of cancer, right?

[Crashfan3]

So I wonder if we'll be seeing these any longer...



He's dead, I can has my xbox now?

Don't criticize people or isolate them on his side for having feelings, I knew this would happen. The one person that says they should've not killed him, going down to his standards, blah blah. I'm glad he's dead, but if someone comes here saying death is wrong they'd most likely defend you too. The more someone is hated the more influence it'll have over you.

Also, there was no way of dragging him out alive. It was a gun fight. As said before, they wanted justice and they wanted him, dead or alive. I actually think they would have loved to get him alive, and we wouldn't even know. Why? They'd interrogate him to death or use him to get the other terrosists to come out. The death had to happen, he would've killed himself like Hitler I'm sure.

ps unless killing osama brought back even just 1 person he's responsible for killing, I don't see real cause for celebration here and it's kind of making me uncomfortable that some people do.

[Necrophage]

Its making you uncomfortable that people are celebrating the death of someone who is responsible for the death of thousands? Are you SERIOUS?

I suppose you think we should have wasted even more tax dollars keeping him detained for the rest of his pathetic existence, where he would undoubtedly continue to run his terrorist organization from behind bars, right?

Unbelievable.

This doesn't end any wars. The War on Terror isn't just about finding Osama. Everyone he killed is just as dead. We don't really benefit from this in any way. al Qaeda gets a new leader and probably keeps all their funding too, I find it hard to believe bin Laden wouldn't have contingency plans put into place after his death to keep his organization funded.

Don't get me wrong yo, I don't think killing him was morally wrong, especially since he died in a firefight. I'm just sad it was necessary.
