If it would have been possible to capture OBL and bring him back to the US for trial that would have been preferred but it wasn’t.

That doesn’t mean I believe he should have been executed. He was killed in the raid.

It was a possible outcome of the raid which they accepted because ...

[MDPrompter]

It was the only objective of the raid.

They obviously knew he wasn’t coming peacefully

Osama was obviously a giant dick but in terms of pure evil he’s not even in the same area code as say Joseph Stalin. He’d be a much better example.

OBL was plenty evil enough

[ricky towel]

Killing the enemy on the battlefield is a far far far cry from executing citizens for domestic crimes.

My view, terrorism is evil, he committed the greatest terror act of all time, plenty evil.

Now if you asked the 1.9B Muslims if OBL was evil what do you think the results would be?

[ricky towel]

I think the majority of Muslims consider bin Laden evil.

There are SO many people worthy of death. I don't think the gov't should be in that business but there many humans who deserve death.

Curious how many you think deserve to be tortured?

The thing is, this thread is definitely not an echo chamber - we disagree on a LOT in here and there’s some good (and some heated) debate on a variety of topics.

Obviously there’s a lot of overlap, and most (all?) of the active posters lean towards one side of the spectrum, but there’s very few topics where it’s unanimous or there’s even a clear consensus.

A lot of the folks on the right decided to leave after Biden won. It's not really the same.

I think a clear consensus is that Rick is starting to dial in his tone.
