Osama Bin Laden is Dead!!!

[Aliantha]

I know people aren't going to like this post, but here goes.

Bin Laden, although he was a terrorist and caused so much grief to so many people, also had a family who presumably loved him no matter what his beliefs were.

I don't think killing him is going to stop terrorism or al quaida (sp?) and may in fact have the opposite effect.

I know he has become a symbol for terror across the world, but really, I don't think cheering in the street is an appropriate response. He was no doubt a cold blooded killer, but he was still a person.

Now that he's dead, what don't we show our humanity instead of becoming what we hate?

You don't think any Australians have been directly affected? You don't think the support our troops have given to your gives us a right to comment?

Our soldiers have spilled blood just the same colour as yours. So have our civilians. See the attacks in Bali for instance. A pub blown up which was THE place for Australians to drink when on holidays.

No, I don't accept your statement Nirvana. Not for one second. Especially since i have familiy members in the armed forces who've had to serve in Afghanistan and risk their lives.

How fucking rude to suggest that only Americans have a right to comment. Fuck that.

Oh, and in case you didn't notice, nowhere did I mention my post was about US reactions. There are similar reactions around the world. Get out of your bubble and take a look around.

I thought his family had disowned him long before September 11th?

I'm not chanting or dancing in the streets over his death. I don't get the point in that and I think those that are look a bit silly. But the idea that we should because someone loved him? Fuck that. Fuck that with a donkey dick.

He was a mass murdering piece of shit. His death was long overdue. In fact, I think after his death we should have wrapped his body in bacon and surrounded it by drooling dogs inside a display case. Then we should have let it tour the country before allowing anyone who lost someone on 9/11 to piss on it.

Someone loved him??? really? Someone probably thought Hitler was swell too but I'm damn sure there was a lot of justified celebration when he died.
