So we should have let him live to avoid "reprisals"?? I don't think so...

The U.S. did what it had to do!

The United Kingdom suffered the greatest loss of life after the Americans.

Apart from the approximately 2,669 United States casualties, 372 foreign nationals (excluding the nineteen perpetrators), representing just over 10% of the total number of deaths, also perished in the attacks. The following is a list of their nationalities (not accounting for some cases of dual citizenship). By far the foreign country with the largest loss of life was the United Kingdom, with 67 deaths (including the overseas territory of Bermuda). India lost 41, South Korea lost 28 and Canada and Japan lost 24 each. Colombia lost seventeen and Jamaica, Mexico and the Philippines lost sixteen each. Australia and Germany lost eleven each, while Italy lost ten.

The man had to be caught and killed just as he was responsible for the death of thousands of people. I am happy that I am around to see this murderer killed, My only regret is that he had a swift end to his own life.

He should have been been put to death like the Saudis do it. Eye for an eye.

Yes, I do think of you as possessing the moral equivalence of the Saudi in the street. My comment about reprisals, for the clown who thought otherwise, was a statement of probability that a number of commentators are making; it has nothing to do with whether or not the action should have been taken.

This is sort of funny of you to attribute this to the Saudis. The phrase an Eye for an eye comes from the Bible. Exodus 21:24

It seems strange to me that you would quote one passage from the Bible you like, but seem to miss what is proposed to be God on Earth in the form of Jesus saying, "You have heard that it was said, "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth". But I say to you, do not resist an evildoer. If anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also". (Matthew 5:38тАУ39, NRSV)

Sorry, but I do take your statement , attributing this phrase to the Saudis, as slightly racist. I do hope you did not mean it that way.

As far as I am concerned, I am proud of our American boys and our President for putting an end to this maniac. A trail would have been a ridiculous spectacle, or have you forgotten how stupid and grandstanding the Saddam's trail was. The Burial at sea was positively brilliant. There will be no grave for pilgrims to come to or honor this pig in any way.

In a way I miss the idea of a grave, I'll miss pissing on it.

This news sure spread quickly LOL...

- In the office someone suddenly yelled it out...

- then a client I was on the phone with blurted it out...

- a guy I don't know in the lift asks "how's your day going?" followed by "did you hear Bin Laden's dead?" (I bet the former was an excuse to blurt out the latter LOL)

- I walk into a client's office and the receptionist greets me by telling me Bin Laden's dead...

- I walk into my client's boardroom and he greets me with the same news...

- on the train, in the cafe, in the street I hear about a dozen conversations with the same news...

- I log on to SGT, click on "Gay Thailand" and think thank goodness no one's talking about it here... nope wrong, it's actually discussed in the Global forum LOL.

Anyway, I'm glad they got him. It's a huge morale booster. What a moment that must've been.
