    As an American I am gratified that Osama Bin Laden has been neutralized. I have to disagree that the method of disposal of his body is a mistake. That discussion is a total no win situation. If he had been buried his grave would have been a target for desecration and/or veneration. Desecration is also a violation of Islamic tradition, and one reason for a burial at sea.

    If pictures are released that is also a no win situation. Many may suggest that they were a religious affront an attempt disrespect a religious warrior and/or a fake. I am satisfied that the decisions that have been made are the best in this strange situation.

    If Osama Bin Laden is still alive he can make himself known, as he has in the past.

    The proof of death ultimately will be the absense of the proof of life.

    I also believe that no death should be celebrated, that if anyone loses their life is a lose to everyone, even sociopath who has caused immeasurable harm.

    I'm real happy that you & I have differing views on swell folks including, but certainly not limited to...

    bin ladn, Hitler, Manson, Gacy, Gein, Bundy, Berkowitz, Dahmer, Ridgway, Cunanan, & a host of other pure evil mo-fo's I can no longer remember...

    Yah dood...cum-by -AHHHHHHH...PuhLEEZ!...

    I'm sure they're all great folks & stuff, but....SRSLY?...

    Any celebration of the death of 'those people' must be tempered by the remembrance of the people they killed. The victims are more important than the killers.

    In my view the remembrance outweighs the celebration in every case of even a single death.

    You celebrate the "higher consciousness" of those you know & admire...

    I'll celebrate the more banal motives & realities of those who will not be trampled under the sandals of their enemies. (those who have done US wrong)

    Here's an example of my thinking...

    ...

    As has been quoted...

    "the meek shall inherit the earth...if the rest of you wouldn't mind, of course"

    Even "Politeness Man" carried a stainless steel hankie of Justice...

    "In 70s to the early 80s, there was a comic strip call PolitenessMan by Ron Barrett. In his skewed manner; Politeness-man sort of had his priorities screwed up, as do most people who insist on political correctness, in this civilization that has gone down the crapper."

    Evil does not know its own ways. The greatest evils of history have been greeted with some of the greatest popular adulation at the time.
