I’m not comfortable with what happened to Osama Bin Laden last Sunday.
Even Nazi Generals, responsible for the deaths of millions of people, got trials.
Yes, it was a brilliantly executed mission – right out of the Tom Clancy books I used to read. Daring, gutsy, courage way beyond anything I could ever muster.
But, a representative democracy should not go into sovereign countries, break into private residences, and assassinate unarmed people.
I really hate being on the same side of an issue as Michael Moore, but I am.
Let’s put the shoe on the other foot. What if, some dude in Pakistan killed 3000 Pakistanis. Then, he fled to America and settled down in a house in West Point, NY. Then, one night, Pakistani helicopters flew in and Bin Laden’d him.
Americans would go ballistic. Out of their minds. Calls for nuking Pakistan would be rampant.
Well, if it ain’t right, it ain’t right.
What if this government starts doing that here? Assassinating criminals instead of arresting them?
The silence on this issue is deafening.
I’m glad Bin Laden is with the fishes. I’m not glad that his death seemed like part of a Godfather movie.
Truth, justice and the American Way. Did not happen.
I couldn’t agree more. When I heard the news I was very uneasy with the way things went down. I thought we (Americans) were better than that. I was also disturbed by the myriads of people rejoicing in the streets.
