a little clarity here: "we" are not creating
any martyrs. that scumbag being killed by any means (in the act of jihad) automatically propels him to martyrdom. how we react to his well deserved death has no impact on whether or not his many followers/supporters determine his worthiness to his 72 (likely under age) virgins.
and anyone to think we should (or could) do this quietly with nobody knowing probably should try watching less tv shows. this isn't the sapranos where bin laden just doesn't show up for work one day. there was a fire fight and the compound was destroyed for crying out loud! i think the jihadists might catch on that it was the u.s.
as for any concern this might inflame hatred towards the west i say perhaps it's time to get your head out of the sand. really, when someone has no problem strapping bombs to women and children, and flying planes into buildings, i'd say they're already pretty p!ssed off. the fundamentalists have been waging this war for many hundreds of years and they will only let up when the world worships as they do, or submits. fact.
you can't please a bully. you can only stand up to them.
