It's deterrent. It's one of the 6 goals of punishing criminals for society's appeasement to the moral outrage the act of the criminal caused.

I think that people are taking the topic title to seriously. Take it in the context of the whole of my original post and the points made that in the context of the whole US foreign policy situation, the death of Osama matters little and the US strategy in pursuing him has been counter-productive.

My point wasn't necessarily that the thing doesn't matter or should be ignored, but the outcomes are not so positive and grand that the media and the US and British governments are making it out to be.

It's always great to see human beings come together to celebrate the death of an old man.
The cur foretells the knell of parting day; The loafing herd winds slowly o'er the lea; The wise man homeward plods; I only stay to fiddle-faddle in a minor key.

I'm so glad the Canadian media are spending so much time on this as opposed to the fucking election happening today.

It's kinda a big deal.

I don't know what the outcome will be, but it feels damn good.


Well OK sure you make the emotional point.



You just lost your entire point in your topic. You wondered what was the big deal and why is it making such a big hit on the news?



Edit: nvm, its completely offtopic and is a repetitive discussion

Btw, serious props to OP who admits he's wrong when he's faced with evidence. A rare sight on the internet.


There's a lot of hollywood movies about the lone wolf who makes a lot of enemies by bending the rules to ensure that justice is met, too.

Well OK sure you make the emotional point. However try to imagine how a muslim or arab person feels. Do you know how many innocent people the US have killed through drone attacks in Pakistan? Through bombing in Iraq and Afghanistan? Thousands.

Do they not then have just as much justification to hate the U.S. and it's leader, that you do to hate Osama?



I wonder which struck first...
9/11? Or the war that followed...

The funding of the Afghan muhajideen by the Americans so that the Afghans can fight the Soviets for them.

Who are you trying to convince? Hands up who around here thinks that OBL's death means Planet Earth 2.0 just began and we can start building rocket ships to take us to the far-reaches of the universe, so we can continue to multiply and prosper across the galaxy?

Everyone knows it doesn't mean diddly in terms of actual tangible gains, but it does mean the closing of a chapter for a lot of people. It's a significant event for those directly related to people that were lost in the crimes the man orchestrated, and a milestone for justice.

That the guy could run around, orchestrate terrible acts of violence from complete safety and be mete with no justice was a sheer embarrassment to the ideals that we, as civilized nations, hold dear to us.
