The flags at OD will be flying at half mast. 

It might be a good idea if Obama has the body stuffed and puts it on show during his re-election campaign.

And hey, he can now end the butchering of Afghans without loss of face (and invade another country).

Funny, how the Taliban went on butchering for the better part of a decade with nary a European word of protest. 

Hey, I understand you're a girl. Are you cute?

 today's achievement is a testament to the greatness of our country. Obama

And the greatness of Obama?

Good.

He should have been hanged like Saddam. 

Congratulations to SEAL Team 6 for a professionally executed raid that dispatched Bid Laden without hesitation or excess.  No parading the body, just gather intel, blow the compound, and dispose of the body to deny Islamo-fascists their holy relics and shrine.   Well done.

We don’t even protest if some invaders butcher Afghan wedding parties. Not much, that is.

This man is responsible for the INTENTIONAL murder of thousands and thousands of civilians.  Not just in New York, or only in the US, but around the world. 

My first thought, when I saw this last night, was...  My god, I hope this doesn't provoke an immediate attack of some sort, by an extremist group (or individual) in response. 

My second thought was...   They just arrested some suspected terrorists on information of an planned attack in Germany, I hope the Germans are saved frome an attack because they were able to make those arrests. 

My thrid thought was...  If extremists feel the need to attack quickly in response, Europe is probably an easier target, and I fear for Europeans.

Then, this morning, I read Momo's comments, and all I see is another opportunity for her to call the US evil.  To call us butchers.  To accuse of of killing innocent civilians.

Momo,

A few days ago, you said you didn't think I said things to intentionally hurt people.  Well, here's a change of course.  Go to hell, lady.

Alan,

This man is responsible for the INTENTIONAL murder of thousands and thousands of civilians.  Not just in New York, or only in the US, but around the world

Right. A terrible mass murderer.

For several reasons I would have preferred if he had been captured and put on trial. His death doesn’t trouble me, but I find the excitement exaggerated, and joy over any man’s death (that so many people express just now) repulsive. Relief that he can’t commit more crimes, yes: I can share that. I know there are enough other criminals though, so what has changed?

My first thought, when I saw this last night, was...  My god, I hope this doesn't provoke an immediate attack of some sort, by an extremist group (or individual) in response

I think you are overrating his importance. My first thought was: Oh this solves the mystery if he is hiding somewhere without the opportunity to do much harm or if he is already dead. The world had already moved on.

My second thought was...   They just arrested some suspected terrorists on information of an planned attack in Germany, I hope the Germans are saved frome an attack because they were able to make those arrests

Proper policing helps, but it is no guarantee. These arrests have triggered off a debate about the laws that took several of our freedoms away and that expire this year. They come under the name “anti-terror-laws”. You gueesed it: our hardliners want to prolong them. Our minister of justice (definitely not a lefty) had to point out that these laws weren’t needed for the investigation that led to the arrests. I guess our hardliners will make the most out of this news.

My thrid thought was...  If extremists feel the need to attack quickly in response, Europe is probably an easier target, and I fear for Europeans

Possibly. You ought to know what policies I find useful in order to fight terrorism. Military means are not on my list, they increase our risk.

Then, this morning, I read Momo's comments, and all I see is another opportunity for her to call the US evil.  To call us butchers.  To accuse of of killing innocent civilians

And as long as the butchering goes on, I will go on to accuse.

Did you note your own switching of the object from “the US” to “us”? Well.

Go to hell, lady

What do you think where I am? I am already in a country that is part of the evil and the butchering! A country that is becoming a police state by its participation in these wars. What can be worse?

Alan,

Where do you think does this quote comes from?

The underlying problem for Muslims is not western dominance. It is the West itself, a different civilization, whose people are convinced of the superiority of their culture and are obsessed with the inferiority of their power.

Do you notice the switch from an oppressive influence to entire culture and all people? The insinuation that all these people want to impose their culture and try to increase their power at all costs, which makes each of them a legitimate target? It is the justification for total war, isn’t it?

It could be an Osama bin Laden quote. It’s a misquote, though:

The underlying problem for the West is not Islamic fundamentalism. It is Islam itself, a different civilization, whose people are convinced of the superiority of their culture and are obsessed with the inferiority of their power.

Samuel Huntington, the hero of neocon warmongers.  

Alan, do you honestly believe that one side is more moral than the other, or are both equally immoral?

iam abdulksaida, i still didnt read any comment, but want to say that all of us will die one day according to God will and according to God time specified to us and i want to say after i heard that the body of OBL was berried in the sea that is very ugly and make me realize me and milyar of muslims that islam is the only relegion which encourage to respect the body of all sorts of people even if criminal.

i remember that one day prophet mohamed (pbuh) get up for a jewish funeral and his companions were astonished to that as jewish did auful things in his time, but propeht mohamed (pbuh) said why? he is a soul and we have to respect that!!!!

where is islam from those people whom throw OBL in the sea , i think they are zionists as they want to humulate islam and its people and also to reming that the zionist will throw palestinians or everyone in the sea and not israeli stealers

For u information all muslims are condemning the way he is burried, it is not islam and immoral . They are also terrorists.

even any normal person will not celebrate like what people did in USA and dance. Death has its own respect wheather the person is innocent or criminal.

for me even if the most terrorists died whom as a palestinian they are the Israeli leaders and USa administrators whom never chaste any criminal in israel, i will not go and dance in the street. really islam is the only relegion whom have the power to forgive and respect death for all people

My follow-on thought was, "Thank God for Gitmo!"  since it appears that intelligence developed from Gitmo interviews directly led to the identification of the neighborhood of Bin Laden's compound. 

I hope the intellegent go to israeli jails and see how much tortures the innocent people are suffered while israel also occupy and steal their country. I dont think the people in Guantanamo knows much as it is now 10 years or u think torturing people is ok.

iron mike

why u dont torture other than muslims e.g the stealer of our land and killing innocent people or they are arabs and muslims and dont deserve life.

thanks God that he is watching us and he is the one who knows who start killing innocent people. The justice is with God almighty and not with obama or israel or the terrorists.

by the way OBL was a result of the terrorism of USA administration, terrorism of israel and killing innocent muslims and the international west whom till now didnt give the justice to muslims in palestine.

Also why they didnt capture him ? are they afraid? they want to hide evidences.

they can berry him in any place without telling . they have the power, but they dont respect islam and muslims and that is very ugly. he is a muslim man and even criminals before they hang them e.g if they commit any criminal one sheik must come and pray for him .

any way God is more mercy than you and all people in the world and no body knows where to go after death.

what makes us muslims angry the way he was berried without respecting the death as if they are afraid from him even when he is died. where is the braveness?

i heard that al azhar said the berry is not according to islam and that is not acceptable.

It is not a moral way and that would increase the hate of muslims to USA administration. really shame on USA administration to throw his body from the sea?

why they didnt throw the terrorist american who explode innocent people in USA?

why the christian terrorists and jewish terrorists were not captured and killed without trial and thrown in the sea?

it is a crime to throw like that and very ugly and give that the most terrorist country in the world are USA administration with israel administration.

All agreed on the awful and not respect of islam and muslim in the berry. I think that is much cower .

by the way i dont understand how the vatican said that obl increase the hate in the rejon. please tell the vatican that who start to kill muslims and arabs in palestine and steal the country and who invade afganistan and iraq for no reason and killed so many innocent muslim people is the one who is responsible for the hate.

owly

never one time you said about the crimes of israel of killing so many innocent palestinains . you is never neutral. it seems you represent your church. also the vatican said something not correct. the one who is responsible for the hate is the one who first invade the country and kills innocent people

owly

before obl how many innocent muslims killed in palestine, somal, iraq and in many muslim countries and you didnt even mention them. i know why? becasue they are not cristians like you.

owly

one day you will die and in our relegion we never said that person will go to hell or paradaze and i think even you are not abide to your pure christianity you are away from relegion. for us in muslim tradition if one say that this person is going to hell, so Allah almighty will say who is that who said that. let him know that i will forgive to the person and that will enter hell.

so owly be caustion of telling that. who knows who will enter the hell?

be humble you are from blood and flesh and one day all will be berried and be just and say the other people whom died from christian terrorists or jewish terrorist. be fair and just.

owly

what you mean and so should you? do u mean you want me to die and thrown? what you mean exactly?

mike

so you are the army want to revenge from some ignorant people whom tortured some of your soldiers.!! is that wright so you are USA the goverment is the same terrorists and not better than others

that is the difference of the war and dignity in everything. no respect is for the act . it is only revenge and when muslims wants to revenge from the killer of their innocent people then America and israel will hit them from above with fatal weapons. how many civilians iraqi and afgani and bakistani and palestinians killed from raids of both terrorists countries. i cant count . why mike never give us the no of muslims innocent killed by your army and army of israel to be jsut.

What a shock to see abdulksaida here. Momo assured us all that the US American Killers had driven her away ...

But as in momo's case, it just goes to show that hate has a long half-life: They may fade a bit, but the haters will be with us a for a long time.

henry

i didnt understand what u want to say. are you mocking? this is not a suitable place or time to mock on others. it seems you are not serious u and owly

the terror starts since israel occupy palestine and killed muslims there and then the cycle of hate start. if you want the cycle of hate to be ended give justice to palestinians and stop terroring them and never obl will appear. He is a reaction to murdering muslims all over the world. Stop murdering muslims and give palestine back to her people then peace will prevail all over the world. No body wants blood shed especiaaly innocent ones.

It's interesting to note that there have been no spontaneous outbursts of flag burning and other expressions of anger in the Muslim World.   As Obama pointed out, Muslims have suffered at least as much as anyone else from this dreadful movement. 

It's possible that I'm being premature here but I think this confounds the claims both of those Islamists who claim there is a mass following for this man and of those who attempt to use such a threat to justify support for people like Mubarak and Saleh.
