Closure and justice is one thing.
Dancing and cheering in the street like 8 year olds at a birthday party is another thing entirely.
If they attack you back and they are on camera dancing and cheering in the street, you guys will call them "filthy animals" and " look at them, they take joy in murder" - look at it with logical thinking.
When have Americans ever danced in the streets to celebrate the killing of innocents? They do, we don't. And some even tell us it was the chickens coming home to roost, that we deserved it, and that is why those people are celebrating. We kill the man that is responsible for an attack on innocent civilians, that has affected every single person in this country, and when people celebrate it gets questioned?
They celebrate killing innocent people, men, women, children, even their own people that came here. Yes, that is unquestionably disgusting.
We celebrate the killing of a mass murderer, who admitted to the act. I am willing to cut those who have an emotional burst of excitement some slack.
He didn't shoot at the americans, in fact he was un-armed and your country killed him without trial.
Just like Saddam Hussein, slobadon milosovich he deserved a trial before death.
After all isn't America all about Innocent until proven guilty, and everyone should have their day in court, or is that only when it suits them?
So, I guess you have seen the footage of the event and have first-hand knowledge of what went down in order to be able to feel like you can give this kind of damning reproach to those involved? You know he had no opportunity to surrender and was killed in cold blood?
Where is the proof Bin Laden was repsonsible for 9/11 ? Do they Americans not have any proof? Is that why they had to just kill him?
Seriously?
That has been publicly available since October of 2004. Never mind the fact that Bin Laden bragged about it, claimed it, and showed evidence that they did it, all on video.
I am.
Americans are one of the most media driven,media indoctrinated, government led societies in the world though, so when the government says Bin Laden is resposnible for 9/11 you're never going to get more than 10% of people questiong that statement.
Actually, at one point 25% of the US believed it was an inside job. The other 75% are smart.
He deserved his day in court to let the facts come out, due to USA actions, this truth will never be known whether he was responsible or not.
And how do you know it isn't because of his own actions?
Who's to say those principles wouldn't have been violated by the government anyway?
Over a much longer period of time, maybe. The Patriot Act can be directly linked to the events of 9/11. Those events scared the majority of the population into saying, "So long as it keeps me safe," and not questioning loud enough if it actually will keep you safe.
You should be mad at him for violating the rights of the individuals he did, but you shouldn't be mad at him for "opening the door". You should be mad at your government for tossing aside the rules they are supposed to follow and stepping through that door. You should be mad at your fellow Americans for not forcing the government to check itself at that door.
Bin Laden's actions were the trigger. Government was the actor. And the American people were the ones who let it happen. They are all responsible.
Bin Laden is not guilty of taking away your freedoms - that has to do with the government and the people.
And Hitler didn't open the gas valve. Bin Laden wanted us to be scared and change our way of life. It happened, maybe not exactly how he planned, but it happened. We now pat down young children and infants at airport security, we took down privacy barriers, and we all did it so that we could feel safe from the terrorist bogeyman. He doesn't get to be free of that guilt.
