Osama Bin Laden Dead!

[CYCLOPZ]

Obama is Osama

[Jared Katooie]

No.

I would like to advise people if anything was aimed my way I in no way cheered at the death of this man, i'm just glad a lot of people have gotten closure from this.
America is in no way "The Good Guys" i know the world isn't that simple however i think in this situation almost anyone should be happy he's gone.  You never know we might be all suprised and peace will follow into the most conflicted region on earth (look at that optimism from the most pessimistic person on the planet(well acording to my friends)).

kind of sorry for starting this thread now but I should've realised not everyone here would be on the same page about it.

I wish I shared your optimism but the 'West' didn't venture into the Mid-East to get Bin Laden. He was irrelevant as soon as he attacked the US. I would wish that the sheer pointlessness wins over but...

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."

Considering it wasn't too long ago that the police were shooting the innocent down the tubes this could just be another over reaction... they could have just been out for a nice walk... lets just wait and see how this pans out before shouting terrorist nuclear attack.

Ahh, a calm, rational response


Get him! Break his legs!

[Professor Bear]

Agreed.  What this thread needs is more racism, uninformed political debate, and some middle class uni grads telling us why their education nullifies someone's personal opinions - at the very least someone could storm off the forum vowing never to return.  It's getting so I hardly recognize this place anymore.

Bin Laden isn't Darth frigging Vader, he doesn't control the terrorists of the world. How much direct influence do you think he had over the 7/7 bombers for instance? They were from Leeds for god's sake!

The tendrils of Al Qaeda spread far and wide, and there is plenty of adventure holiday time in Pakistan. Do I have to start raking up news clips/bulletins?

I hope you're not suggesting Darth Vader ever controlled terrorists.  He was a loyal servant of the constitutionally-established First Galactic Empire, and anyway, Tarkin was holding his leash most of the time, to judge by the foul stench.

Indeed, I believe what he meant to say was he isn't Admiral frigging Ackbar (whose name even sounds vaguely arabic)

[vzzbux]

Ahhhh. Admiral frigging Akbar. The terrorist responsible for countless Imperial lives.
