Also, while the death of another human being is always a horrible occurrence, I still have to say that the world is a better place as a result. It's about time that we got him.

Can't wait for when the US military decides to go after Christian targets.
See: Germany, 1942-1944

Still, I am calling BS on his death, until they can affirm the identity.
I expect many people around the world are waiting for the hard evidence. Even so, I doubt they would announce something like this unless it was true, mostly because it would be subject to such a high level of scrutiny. EDIT: To clarify, since the truth would come out eventually, lying about it would simply leave a huge black stain on the United States' credibility around the world; as such, it would be counter-productive to all of our country's aims.

I recall the Bush administration announcing that a certain dictator in Iraq had Weapons of Mass Destruction and harbored Terrorists, including members of al-Qaeda....
Touche. I won't go into what I think of the previous administration, but I will point out a large difference: Bush only thought said Iraqi dictator had WMD's. This time, we have the evidence; we have the body as proof. It would be stupid for Obama to announce we took down Bin Laden without having confirmed the corpse's identity beyond a doubt.

And I am not too happy about the whole principle "an eye for an eye" here.
True. It's a slippery slope, but I expect the SEALs were instructed to capture him alive if possible, but by no means let him escape. They've announced there was a firefight, and they may not have been able to take him prisoner alive so that he could face justice; I expect there's only so much you can do when somebody's shooting at you.

Then I ask you, how much more secure was USA before his death and how much more secure is USA going to be now after his death?
Question: Do you believe criminals should be brought to justice so they can't commit more crimes in the future? So that they are forced to face up to the consequences of their actions?
