According to the news this morning Osama Bin Laden is dead, killed by the US military. Is this a good thing? I'm uncertain because:
A) This is the US being judge, jury and executioner, should he not have been put on trial and made to answer to his crimes in a court of law?
B) The potential for fundamentalist backlash.
C) The world has now no longer got an almost mythical figure of hate to unite against.
D) Will there not simply be a dpeuty to take over?
I don't feel safer now I know he is dead but I don't think his death will necessarily put my life more at risk from terrorism. I believe that this will but the coalition forces more at risk and will possibly be the spur to another massive outrage. It is 10 years since 9/11 after all.
