LOL. I was joking to lead up to the dumb youtube video. I wanted to keep the taser convo in line with the thread. Doh!

/taser tangent (for real this time)

Indeed it does. I hope they look back at that video in a few years and think "what the hell were we thinking?!" That type of celebration is what makes some people wonder when celebration becomes...crazy...and that can add to some people's belief that the Osama killing wasn't absolutely necessary. Since the government and military do a lot of things that the layperson doesn't know about, the Osama killing could have been convenient and desired for nationalist and political reasons. But, we will never know whether it was absolutely necessary. I don't believe it was truly about the true safety of America and our allies, since terrorists don't really need Osama alive to do whatever they do, versus Americans and our allies feeling vindicated and a bit more safe.

Phew! That makes me feel better. But still, shame on you for not using sarcasm font.

Taking Osama out was more of a symbolic move than a tactical one but I'm still happy to see that the bastard is finally gone.

I also hope his corpse is getting skull-fucked daily by hammerhead sharks.

Okay, so when people find it to be symbolic and the military says he was unarmed (they said he was unarmed as soon as they announced his killing but there apparently remains debate about that), surely people can see why some people find it to be an unnecessarily quick killing.

Some people's response: "Well, Osama's killings were unfair and unnecessarily quick."

My response: "True dat but Osama 'n dem are the terrorists. We aren't...right? That depends on who you ask and when you ask."

Yikes @ this article (reputable source?) saying "Obama" instead of "Osama."

Who's really saying that Osama's killing was unfair? I think his death was the most appropriate course of action.

People were concerned that a gravesite was going to rally the jihadists but WTF do you think a 2 year trial in NYC would do? Let alone all the terrorist attacks demanding that the U.S. release Bin Laden blah blah blah.....

Like others have said, Bin Laden himself chose his demise long ago.

People who believe his killing was or may have been unfair.

I hope no one ever has reason to say this about you.

GAG ME WITH A FUCKIN SPOON

You know what, if I killed over 3,000 innocent civilians than I would deserve to have that said about me and I would also deserve to be put down like the dog Bin Laden was.

If you killed 3,000 or 333,000 people, I still wouldn't say it about you.

Well congratulations on being a morally superior person. Maybe I and everyone else who's glad to see him gone can learn a lesson or two from you.

You can actually spare us the smartass routine or I'll get you tased again.

I think the point being made is that not everyone has to rejoice over his killing; and not everyone has to think his killing was unjust. I'm pretty sure there are more Americans who rejoice over his killing than think it was unjust. Some of the posts about Osama's killing on GC have implied that those who question his killing are anti-American idiots who can't grasp what Osama has done. Preciousjeni didn't imply that she was a morally superior person.
