It's all right Ben, we didn't get your obsession with Bush either.

I just prefer it shaved that's all. Nothing in your teeth. Nothing in your throat.

That's the worst version of that.

Interesting that they buried his body at sea. Perhaps to ensure that there was no specific place that could be turned into a shrine for his followers.

Thought it was hoax when I first heard about it. Then I read that he was buried at sea to satisfy mulsim tradition. Since when do we satisfy the tradition of an enemy when we kill him? Now I know it is a hoax.

For centuries?
It's part of why we have some respect. We have, except for our many crimes, respected the fallen of our "enemies" not as enemies but as fellow humans for a long time.
We could have done far better, but the U.S. has been remarkable in many ways in respecting these aspects.

I smell a war with pakistan considering how close this compound is to Pakistan's equivalent of West Point! only 100 yards if I heard right?

I read somewhere the burial at sea is a Muslim thing, they didn't want to cause problems by not adhering some sort of tradition they have.

CNN said it's not a normal Muslim thing, they usually go underground like "normal" but if there is a threat of someone digging the body up, which there is, then burial at sea is what is done.

Also the fact that no country would want him buried on their soil.

No country willing to take him?
I think we americans should have mummified him and put him in the Freedom tower. Muslims typically do not like destroying shrines with their people.
A quote from a comment on the yahoo article "Was burying bin Laden at sea a mistake."
more aid to pakistan our muslim brothers ha ha we probably paid for his resort. we washed his body what are we morons he was as bad as hitler and gave a bad name to all muslim people killing women children and old people he was a mass murder who gives a @#$% how he was buried he should have been wrapped in a pig skin and buried in israel
hilarious

We asked Pakistan and the Saudi's. I hope to Harding that both were trolling our "allies" instead of a serious offer.

There's something to be said for being better than the vile, and trying to set a standard through your actions.
Sometimes you may have to drift into barbarism to bring down barbarians, as we did in this case and as we have done before, but there is no justification for staying there. Nor celebrating it.
The Nazi's did what they did to Hitler's body to prevent what the Soviets would have done and used it for. And they were right to do so. We were right to give bin Laden a proper burial.

At last. Justice is served to the Americans.
Tue May 03, 2011 9:42 pm
I dont believe hitler was in the bunker. there was plenty of evidence he escaped to argentina
Tue May 03, 2011 9:44 pm
As we've discussed a number of times your definition of evidence is unique.
That said, the point I made remains.
Tue May 03, 2011 9:53 pm
Yeah, well, that's meth for you.
