Haven't you seen the videotape of OBL admitting to ordering what happened on 9-11? I am afraid that if you see that tape you might even question its authenticity.

The man could have been captured and brought to trial and yet a bullet was put in his brain.
You are talking about an ideal society which is different from the real world. There has been no doubt that OBL is the mastermind behind the tragedy so the notion of innocent until proven guilty goes out the window. Whatever he did deserves the death penalty. Ideally, he should have been brought to trial (if he didn't resist) but I, like most of the Americans, has no complain about the outcome of the raid.

Why should anyone be proud of being from such a trigger happy country with a gun in every home and seemingly in every country at the wink of a President? Who is next....Julian Assange? Am I number 20921 on the list? Where do you draw the line?
Every country has their flaws and misgivings. Not a lot of home here has a gun but every legal and responsible individuals has the freedom to own one. The President is not almighty, he can be impeached or voted out of office. And it's this country that has sacrificed a lot of it's citizen so that several countries remain free.

America had the opportunity to bring a wanted man to justice. They could have detained him and provided the evidence that he was the mastermind of all these terrorist acts, but instead they defaulted with the good old fashioned bullet to the head. It leaves more questions unanswered than ever.
Like what questions?

They might as well have let him live in peace where he was.
It's easy for you to say since it's not your country that lost thousands of lives. And he always remains a threat while alive. Did you think he will just fade in the sunset happy with what he did?

All this has done is make America look more morally devoid and the Muslim world more angry. It has been another bullet to the head of America if anything. Once again Bin Laden makes a mockery of America and their so called morality and justice.
America already looked morally devoid and most of the Muslim world are already angry at this country no matter what it does. It had been a mockery even from its citizens that this country can not even locate Osama. This sends a message to the terrorist that they can run but they can not hide.
