Killing Bin Lady does not address the issue of why there is terrorism in this world,it seems to me that if we spent as much time feeding and educating rather than killing and bombing then the world might be a better place.
Lots of questions,difficult answers....

Safe and secure? I doubt it. Bin Lady has only been a figurehead for quite a few years now.

Based on what information?

Will this action scare wannabe terrorists? Maybe. Will it stop the radicalisation of young people by religous fanatics? Doubtful.


Did the execution of patrick henry dampen the radicalism of the american revolutionaries?

What happens when the leader or founder of a movement is assasinated? Does it vanish or grow stronger?
Killing Bin Lady does not address the issue of why there is terrorism in this world,it seems to me that if we spent as much time feeding and educating rather than killing and bombing then the world might be a better place.

If you bomb them and kill them then you can take their dope and fuck their women...duuuhhh


Imagine world peace(without the use of mind altering drugs)

Hate causes terrorism, and usually it is ignorant people who hate. It is the ignorant people who strap on bombs to kill innocent children at the directive of people like Bin Laden. He met his watterloo using his wife as a human shield. What a puke..

ORIGINAL: slaveluci

Amen, pahunkboy. I agree 1000% Violence and hatred and murder is A-OK as long as the target is someone "we" approve of. Ignorance, hatred and killing are no good no matter who's dishing it out. It's a sad situation and really shows what people are made of when they're dancing some ignorant victory dance over this..........luci

Ignorance breeds hate...it also engenders those who suffer from it to cling to unreasonable beliefs .For instance...ignorance is capable of leading folks to question someone's citizenship....despite a preponderance of evidence that would disabuse those less ignorant of such a notion 
Just sayin.....I mean while we are discussing the propensity's of those who suffer from ignorance

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron."

... Dwight D. Eisenhower

From a speech before the American Society of Newspaper Editors, April 16, 1953.
