As perhaps everybody knows, Osama Bin Laden was shot this morning around 4:46h in Abbottabad by Navy Seals, in a 1 million dollar villa.

Dunno if this time it's really true or not, but the photoshopped picture of him is hilariously bad



No laughing matter is the wikileaks document that states there's an atomic bomb hidden somewhere here in Europe to go boom in case of Osama's capture or death...

The American's seem to think this was some kind of victory. Personally I found the public displays of jubilation in the USA at his death as sickening as those involved in terrorism. Shooting him in the head was no better than the terrorists themselves.

The USA has no real grasp over what terrorism really is and the make up of those involved. They can only grasp fighting an enemy that has a similar make-up to themselves, with someone pulling the strings at the top, and everyone else following their command. Killing him won't change anything as he was just a figurehead with no real power... terrorism will go on and I don't think it will ever be completely wiped out because you will always get extremist groups with ideals and thoughts that conflict with anyone else's.

America wanted revenge for 9/11, which is understandable, and by killing him they think they have somehow achieved this. Yes, he was responsible for rallying terrorism from the middle east towards the west, but with quite good cause (read the history of Afghanistan when the USA tried to interfere when they were fighting Russia). That ultimately led to 9/11, but other than that, terrorism has been conducted by a large number of different groups with no main single leader... so this 'victory', other than as a revenge killing, is quite meaningless in the fight against terrorism globally.

I expect there will be terrorist attacks in the near future as a result of this.

Everyone seems to be saying that... they are also worried about the 10th anniversary of 9/11... who knows.

Everything is possible. But what the....?

They killed him, ok. So what? 10 more Bin-Ladens will arise, that's for sure.
