Osama Bin Laden Dead!

He didn't get where he is by not spotting a trap when he saw one.

But how many Bothans died to keep him there?

Ackbar takes all the credit. It was Calrissian that spotted the trap. And he wanted to cut and run, fucking coward.

Lay off the Admiral man - his can't delicate sensibilities can't repel criticism of that magnitude.

In taking away Bin Laden, the US has rendered Al Quaeda even more formless. A truly faceless enemy lurking in every shadow, led by unknown generals.

Next will come a reprisal attack, Operation Blackjack or a modern version of Gladio.

The attacks will be used to strip away more of our freedoms and safeguards.

This is how democracy dies - to thunderous applause.

I'm with Rich - you can't defeat terror with terror. That's like fighting fire with fire, and any fireman will tell you that it's much better to use water. We can't fight our way out of this mess we've gotten ourselves into, we have to understand our way out of it. We have to look to the better angels of our nature, the humanitarian side of our humanity. Bin Laden, just like Barak Obama, is irrelevant. It's our world and its our problem. We're all responsible for the bloodshed. All of us.

You can fight fire with fire, I think it's called a fire break, or some other term.
In the case of say a bush fire the fire bods get ahead of the fire and burn it's fuel

Stop ruining my metaphors with your factual content!

Maybe I should've said that you can't fight fire with fire except in certain circumstances when you can. Or maybe I should just keep my stupid gob shut

Well according to a popular game, you can defeat rocks with paper. Now I've seen riots, and the cops don't wear paper hats.

Watch your back Lars -- you're next.

But wait...isn't there another thread in which you post that you believe the US brought down the WTC, not Al Quaeda...?

Something else that I find slightly irksome is the fact that they killed him and then bragged about it. An American friend of mine said that they (America) had done the deed and would weather any repercussions. Unfortunately, it's not just America that will weather the repercussions, is it? It's the West in general.

Still- at least America got to save face. So that's ok.
