Regulus isn't the only one who is offended.
In my case, perhaps it comes of having gone to far too many funerals for fathers of young children those horrible weeks after 9/11. (BTW, those films are mostly of young university students).
And yes, it's self-righteous. Did the parents and grandparents of some of the posters on this site cheer when they heard Hitler was dead? Would it have mattered to them if he had been killed by an allied soldier instead of committing suicide because he was surrounded? I know a lot of Italians cheered the execution of Mussolini, the manner of which I don't condone, and neither do I condone the execution of the idiot girl who accompanied him. Or are all Europeans, especially young Europeans, so much more evolved now a days?.
And over and beyond that, I find the comparison between the murder of innocent civilians going to the office like every other day, and a surgical strike taking out a terrorist leader personally responsible for the deaths of thousands to be morally myopic.
Hmmmm
let me see and realize,
Before 9/11 the Usa people were not in mood to invade Iraq,
Bush elder Did not invade in that scale, Afraid? of Arabs or a return of the Vietnam Ghost 'political acts, Bring our Boys Back'?
or the cost of such operation
so the case of 9/11 could be also organised by some agents, or USA gov knew about it, as many conspiracy movies say. so feel that they have to invade,
In that case, today interest is in Syria, Libya, Yemen,
Afganistan troops offer less there than in Lybia or Syria,
Money to send new troops are many, and the cost of Having troops in Afganistan ,Iraq, Balkans, where ever else is Huge,
As I said the problem for Osama Death for me is the exact Time,
And seems like in 10-20 days I will be true, I hope,
Instead of charging USA tax payers, to send new and more troops to Lybia, Syria,
Obama is retrieving the troops from Afganistan, so to move them in Mediteranneo to be able to control-invade Lybia or Syria,
If in 10-20 days USA removes 000 of soldier, and starts to send them in Lybia, Syria,
then the whole case is just a low money operation, and Osama's death as we have seen is a screenplay,
remember few years before the economical crisis in USA, with some bank collapse,
and how much cost to USA tax payers having troops abroad, and crisis in their own lands,
Simply it is clever move, to close Al Qaeda File, and start Lybia or Syria File,
just think that in Yemen and somalia pirates, how much cost to global merchant ships.
Now about my feelings,
I only could say Relief, I don't feel Happy Victorius and Glorius,
the Osama could be a modern Jean D' Arc.
Jean was pain in the ass for English, France, And Pope of Rome,
Osama was pain in Ass for Russians (ex Ussr inavsion) USAers, and perhaps some Muslim Leaders,
maybe Osama wanted to create a modern Muslim Monk style dogma, an idealist, that wanted to turn back to 7th century,
Nobody knows exactly, but surely many of his followers can be considered Terrorists,
since one is living a A model of Life, another must Follow than Model?
I Don't know about Western style is ok or the best, But I accept that is more open to different people and dogmas, than a theocratic forcing system that forces woman to be hidden etc
I don't know if he was Theoritical, a prophet of Muslims, or a true terrorist,
No matter how, I feel that islamic world is turning page, and perhaps the time of announce is about Orthodox of Islam to quit actions, since their Human model is dead,
so the exact timing, serves 4
1 the prestige of Obama,
2 the close case and call back troops of Afganistan to send them else,
3 to depress Orthodox Islamist, and show to Arabic president-tyrants that must accept
changes, and free will of people.
4 that invasion times are over since leader is dead, so they go back to 1970-80 peace times,
remember that each invasion cause a huge devastation of immigrants to Europe,
Jean was executed, althought had a trial
