No.We’re all mortal.[Do not ask for whom the bell tolls].To call for justice when a crime is committed is fitting ;to desire victory in war is why we have wars, but we should not elevate ourselves in believing that we are morally superior to Osama bin Laden .He died believing in his heart of hearts that he did not start this war.He believed his war was a war of independence for his people[Muslim/Arabs ]who first the Europeans through colonization and then the Americans through their agents[brutal dictators] were oppressing by mass murder and torture of any dissidents.He believed that for our own political and oil interests we had carved up the mid east and were propping up rulers who harrmed his people.Resorting to mass murder and torture is a great evil but we ourselves have and continue to resort to the same .We hide behind our agents-the brutal dictators that we propped up for our interests like Sadam Hussein who gassed his own people and who we supported at the time when it suited our interests in his war against Iran,only to resurrect his brutality when it suited our interests to want to invade that country.We hid behind Mubarek and others who did the torture and killing for us and because of our military technology we have the luxury of targetting “terrorists” intead of civilians but when we need to target civilian we do.Osama bin Laden said he did not like targetting civilians but because he lacked the military technology to target only military he could only wage a war of independence from western domination of his people[through proxy brutal dictators] by targeting civilians.We have and do the same when necessary.One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.Osama was not against us because we are “free” or because he wants to impose Islam on us by force but because we propped up agents who harmed his people.We are dishonest when we start the narrative of Osama bin Laden and “terrorism” with attacks on our homeland.Osama knew that his people were systematically tortured and killed by agents supported by us for our own economic or politial interests.Two wrongs don’t make a right but Osama brought us to the knowledge that there were consequences in the world[our world] for our policies abroad[which harmed people there and who we were indifferent to].God knows everything,may God have mercy on his soul.
Shooting an unarmed man is evil.It is nothing but vengence and no different then what “terrorists” who we have labeled”pure evil” do or what American murderers in this country do all the time.Those SEALS follow orders and if they had been told to bomb the compond and kill everyone there they would have[as is often done by the Americans in Afghanistan and Pakistan].It is good they did not kill everyone there but if told to they would have.
No man is an island,Osama bin laden arrived at his possition to wage war against westereners as a result of our policies which arroganrly dismissed the culture ,religion and humanity of the people[military bases in their holy land to keep an eye on their oil]and propping up for decades regimes that in any other part of the world we would have been against.To compare him to the Nazi’s is unjust and untrue.The Nazi’s were a powerful regime which came to power with the expressed intention of building a master race and where anyone who they deemed were not part of their master race was not human.That dehumanizing of anyone who wasn’t part of their”race” was as pure evil as we can get on earth.Osama was fighting a war of independance from the tyranical imposition of the west on his people for our own interests. Because he believed he was defending his people his religious beliefs did not contradict his waging war.The same can be said for our religious beliefs.We too believe we can prop up brutal mass murdering regimes for our own economic and political interests and that to defend those interests or to avenge anyone who harms us our religious beliefs [we claim] allow for us to bomb ,kill and now apparenty torture any one in the name of self defense.
That Americans were cheering his death is understanable but is in fact no different then when Muslims cheered the successful attacks on the U.S. They were not cheering the horrific death of people but rather the fact that for the first time America’s unjust policies had consequences for us wheras previosly our unjust policies hurt the people there but never impacted us.It was a desire for justice in the political sense[that the balance of power [domination] shifted even momentarily because we could suffer for having caused them to suffer with the hope that we would change our policies] and not about a love of violence and death for the sake of violence and death.It is true that Osama was a mass murderer and the victims of terrorism are innocent but when a superpower dominates a region through it’s propping up of brutal dictators ,people are either forced to submit to tyrany or they rise up with peaceful uprisings or with terrorism.The peaceful uprisings taking place now[in American backed UAE]] are being brutally supressed or like in Egypt were successful when we ceased to support that brutal regime.Trying to everthrow the brutal Saudi’s is met with torture and mass murder there so Osama bin Laden recognized that it was the Americans who wanted to keep them in power for cheap oil and military bases and as a bulwark against Iran,hence Muslims there were expendible .He defended them by attacking those [us] who dismissed them as collateral damage for our economic and political interests.
