BIN LADEN IS DEAD!

Postby Jason Toddman » Sun May 01, 2011 9:11 pm

Best news I've heard in some time. Good thing in this instance at least that life isn't like a comic book so that he can't mysteriously rise from the dead like Doctor Doom or Lex Luthor! Assuming it wasn't an imperonator or some other GD BS anyway.

Which, if the real world were run by Marvel Comics, would only mean we killed his clone. :big:
Good thing THAT isn't really possible!!!
Anyway, I hadn't heard that we had his DNA to match the body against. That's good then. Sometimes justice really DOES prevail.

It's possible we're just not allowed to try it.

but yay :) don't let your guard down, though, it's still a dangerous world :o

Wow your country killed someone who some 10 years ago allegedly gave the order to perform a single (big, but still single) attack against it. Congratulations. Now to finish off the other millions who support his methods...

I'm gonna be a little contentious here and point out that this could also be pretty bad news. . .

Don't get me wrong. The guy was evil and God knows that if anyone deserved to die, it was him. But don't forgot the fact that he has millions and millions of supporters out there who share his views and (given the right circumstances) are capable of just as much, if not more, than Bin Laden was. By killing him, the problem has far from been eradicated, but rather exacerbated! Be prepared for a new wave of angry extremists "acting in his name" and "avenging him" - Al-Qaida have already said that Bin Laden's death would be met with nuclear holocaust. Whilst I realise that at the moment this is more than likely just showboating, in the long term, things could turn out pretty damn badly as a result.

I'm afraid that the world isn't all rainbows and butterflies. . .

That's because we step on the buggers and start world war III. :P

The butterflies, not the rainbows.

And why're people already saying it's a hoax...Jesus christ, you should accept this and accept it full stop.
It's not a rumour or a May Day joke, why would Barack Osama do something like that?

*edit - genuinely mistyped Obama :lol:

Haha, too true xD

I fully agree with you in terms of it not being a hoax though. The military/government aren't stupid - they'd have been fully aware of just how big a risk it is too kill the guy in the first place. Why would they then open themselves up to potential acts of revenge from extremists just because they feel like lying about the fact they killed him? xD

It's just conspiracy theorists having a field day xD

I don't know. Al Queda seems more than just one man. And we haven't heard of him for a long time had he sort of retured from AQ? Maybe taking the leader out might make it better in the long run (and if anyone ever deserved to die it was osama Bin Laden)but ther ewill be others to take hi place and they would have to be killed too. And surely short term there will be revenge attacks. Maybe there were the same number of attacks anyway they'll just be called revenge attacks.

A bad man has died but does that make the worls a safer better place, i don't know.

Yeah, they have DNA evidence AND they killed his son...So I think we're safe to say it's pretty likely that was the right guy ^^
But yeah there's still others, plenty of others out there like him. :o :bondage:

Regardless of what anyone else days, It was a primary goal from the start and it had to be done.
If we let threats of terrorist attacks deter us - especially from insane people who'd attack us anyway - then we may as well just lay down and die.
You cannot reason with terrorists. You cannot placate them Hitler and the Nazis taught us that in the 1930's. It's them or us, and that's all there is to it.

Really? I always heard it'd be over oil.
And as we all know, oil and water don't mix! :mrgreen:

I can understand the rationale: To prevent an unarmed cameraman from risking his life and being shot. Dogs are considered expendable. Also, they can formidable in a fight.

Edit: I hust googled the story, which I hadn't heard before. Taking along a trained military dog makes sense. They can smell out and hear hidden enemies human soldiers might not be able to locate even in a calm situation let alone in the middle of a firefight.

I've heard the theory the next great war will be over water too. The very overly simple version is as human population increases every drought will strain the water supply that much more, until one day there will be a time somebody doesn't have enough water and a war will break out over it. Apparently some governments already have people making preparations for it. It makes some sense, but we'll have to see.

That's definitely a major possibility. Even in thre United States, a lot of major cities get their water through subterranean aquifers, which they are rapidly depleting. Los Angeles and Las Vegas being notorious examples of major cities built in what were essentially deserts not too long ago. And when those aquifers are used up, there will be major population drops that'll dwarf the one Hurricane Katrina caused in New Orleans as those people move elsewhere - and add to the problem wherever they go.
Who knows? You might eventually even have a new war between the States (or even cities) over this issue if this happens in too short a time frame.

The "experts" say the next great/world war will probably be over water before it's over oil. I guess we'll find out eventually.

If the water war comes first, we might burn up all the oil fighting that stupid war and then we'd have the *other* type of war follow hard on the heels of the first!!!
