[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] It's about closure more than revenge- if it were about revenge, tey would have brought him back alive to be publicly tortured and executed- then displayed. That's more the Roman way, than the current idea of justice. BUt, on a strictly emotional level, we yearn for such a punsihment- no amount of personal suffering can equal the grief thsi man has caused- obviously he was amoral enough to justify his actions to himself. Meanwhile in the real world, no one I've seen has burned anyone's flag or holy book over this- the guy was universaly hated in all cultures- sure, he had his adherents (so did Hitler and Stalin- big deal) but overall people are looking at this in a more positive light.. I've seen no condemnation abroad towards the people that gathered in the hours after the announcment of Bin laden's death. If it leads to some moral introspection, so much the better- we, as a nation, have been in knew-jerk response mode for a decade and that's got to change. [/QB][/QUOTE]
