In a more civil society, people go to trial for accusations, especially ones as serious as terrorism.
I think it says a lot about our society that it is widely seen as a 'good thing' that we kill out of passion.
- cobrausn 14y agoIf you think he was killed 'out of passion', then you are not thinking. It was an execution of a war criminal.
- lazyjones 14y ago> It was an execution of a war criminal. Proof? Due process? Even Saddam Hussein got a trial and he was known to have been responsible for war crimes at the time, not just declared as such by media, politicians etc. ...
- mkr-hn 14y agoHe killed a man who declared war on my country, attacked it successfully twice (both WTC bombings), carried out attacks on my country's assets overseas, and was (apparently) plotting new ones. I would have preferred it if bin Laden stood trial, but he knew the risks he was taking when he did these things. We have many admissions of guilt on video, so I don't think it would be a long trial if he got one.
