Osama bin Laden is dead - no graphic/violent images.

I can’t believe that you are being serious. No, only when the death of the most wanted terrorist in the world is announced.

Precisely.

This **** changed the world. The entire, complete ****ing world for the worse. Created a world were mother's have to taste their breast milk before boarding a plane, thousands of Mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, aunts, uncles, brothers and sisters, children and friends have lost love ones unnecessarily and when you see a Asian bloke with a bread and a backpack on the Bus/Train/Tube you **** yourself despite not being racist, prejudice or any of that nonsense. You just **** yourself because he could be a terrorist. It is the world I've had to grow up in and it ****ing sucks.

And people are crying because his death isn't being treated with enough respect? :confused:

What about the images of people celebrating, firing off AKs and burning American flags on September 11, 2001? 10 years later I still have those images in my mind. That **** can have a profound effect on a 10 year old.

I don't care if the US government is lying about him dying just now, I don't care if he's been dead for months, I don't care if the US government is only just rolling out this news to wrap 9/11 with a nice little bow in time for the 10 year anniversary. The fact is that the US government are dead certain that he is dead enough to let us know so we can 'mourn' his death. He's gone. How anyone can take this as anything other than brilliant news is beyond me.

Yes and the actions of the west have probably spawned a large number of terrorists too.

Oh right, that perfectly justifies 9/11, 7/7 and any other 'Muslim' terrorist attack against the west (past or future).

Cheers for that info. In that case Bin Laden was a visionary :rolleyes:

So you clearly don't accept that there are two sides to every coin then?

You come across a bit bitter and blinded tbh, and I don't think he was trying to justify those events at all.

So many PSN jokes on this thread, brilliant

Good news, but we have to remember that he was a figurehead, this could cause retaliation, but I doubt it

gronf · 2 May 2011 at 19:46

As an American myself, I couldn't care much less about this in itself. My initial reaction was 'oh? :rolleyes:

' and that goes for a large portion of us over here I'm sure. Yes, those other so-called "fellow countrymen" of mine celebrating this are indeed mostly ignoramuses, undoubtedly and sadly of the very same flock that the government play like a fiddle. Albeit they're a loud, tho significant, minority as I can assure you that the majority are far more concerned with the economy going down the crapper, ironically for example, amongst the list of other matters.

Wouldn't exactly be surprised should another figurehead rise to take his place and that this will generally serve to only strengthen the resolve of the resistance in Afghanistan. Since my country has no good business being over there (a view I've held before 9/11, emboldening since), if this helps to precipitate our troops' exit then that's just fine.

Now, if you'll excuse me, an unmarked van has just arrived outside and those guys in black suits/shades look like they mean business...

Its true though, the west never prop up any muderous leaders or give back handers to those leaders so we can get the oil from the states without the populations of those states getting anything other than smacked down with hardware bought from the west with oil money paid by the west for the oil we buy.

I mean we never do anything like this do we...........

Interestingly this may actually help the economy. Should boost consumer confidence.

It is hard to even remotely think about looking at that other side of coin after what 'he' and 'his' organizations have done to the world that we live in. It's pointless too because his actions can never, ever, ever, EVER be justified.

Let's have a brief look at the other side of the coin for ****s and giggles. The 'persecuted muslims' angle. Bin Laden without has ****ed over more muslims over the last 10 years than 'the west' has in it's existence. Before 9/11 did anyone really care about muslims in the sense that they were the emery? All of those beatings, murders, wars, etc. Talk about shooting your cause in the foot.

Already sent oil up, not going to boost much short term, gains in US this morning were wiped by afternoon.

That is the markets. I actually mean the people as a whole. They should feel happier, have a better outlook and be a bit looser with their wallets.

No it isn't? Many of them happened a long time ago.

Calm down dear. We know it was bad, we don't need the hyperbole.

It isn't always that simple to some people.
