Okay we've all celebrated the demise of a huge idiot, but now the thing that has me worried is the aftermath. I would bet any amount of money that Al Qaeda and affiliates are going to do something for revenge. The question is what. The war is on the downslope now, (imo.) but it's far from over, and I'm sure there will be another leader of the Al Qaeda group coming up soon. What does the AG universe think?
Uhmm sorry for the double post and the first one being kind of useless. I don't follow the war closesly how exactly is it on a down slope? People say we are not winning but I dont exactly understand how we are not winning, explain please?
I assure you we will most likely have another 9/11. Al Qaeda won't allow themselves to be disgraced in such a manner and not retaliate. They would look like fools. I bet that in a couple of months another tower will go down.

Well. We're 'losing' because -- We're wasting a lot more money. We don't know who we're fighting Sure we killed Osama, but did he even matter? It's on a downslope currently seeing as we've been pulling troops out and bombing less. Except, have we actually accomplished anything? If not, then we can assume that we have lost.
As for you, Legion, you're not very optimistic. And I don't feel as if Al-Qaeda is that strong of an organized branch to do something like that again. Or to do as what you people say 're organize, re elect, etc etc'. They're a band of village-terrorist that had financial backing from Osama. They have to find new backing now. With new backing comes new motives. Things are always changing.
Unfortunately his death was the death of a symbol, he will soon be replaced, we can only hope that his replacement isn't more audacious and ruthless than him.
huge idiot
While I appreciate that you didn't like him, I you could find anyone who does, do not underestimate his intelligence. The man did covertly run an international terrorist organization for 10 years while half the world searched every nook and cranny in the Middle East.
That is so true. I bet you anything something evil is or might come this way. It's scary to think this but it's very possible. It's not over by a long shot. The worst is yet to come.
On the subject of releasing the pictures, i say nay. if we do, many will become offended by us showing the corpse of a man loved by our enemies. this could spark a cycle of hatred leading to more attacks. i say respect the dead and let us at least honor that.

Whether you mean it like this or not, I only see "Let's dig our heads under the sand lest we be getting into a fight". They're our enemies, seeing their dead leader is a loss of morale to them and their emotions isn't exactly of our concern. Not only that but the boost of morale itself is something that some people deserve and I don't see why people who'll get butthurt should be able to stop that.
Yes but shouldn't relent from that. It's not as if they're going to stop fighting. Big revenge? Sorry, but they already hate our guts and I don't think they'd be like "Nar, wait till we're angry enough to do it... Say when our leader dies or something".
well at last hes dead or noy as the latest conspiricy theory states he may be alive there is no hard evidence he is actually dead thats the big problem
ah but thebthing is they may have plans in the pipe line that they are bringing foward, they have to save face for the sake of recruitment, there not going to let this go, there will be reprisals
Yes, neither was Adolf Hitler. It's annoying how people use the term so loosely.
That and I think Thepyro212 (sorry about misspelling of name) believes he's an idiot for the wrong reasons (or the right reasons with a bit of wrong on top).
I know thepyro is religious and different religious beliefs (and furthermore the actions taken because of them) is probably one of the reasons thepyro stated that Osama was "an idiot", which I'm not gonna go into that. But it's like a mass murderer killing a guilty person (although widely different situations, bare the same format), whilst what he done could've been good, it wasn't justified in his / her perspective.
Adolf Hitler was a good artist and possibly a philisophical genius. Maybe just that he didn't see the "learning curve" and had some incorrect beliefs (however I am the judge).
Anyways, aftermath = nothing really. Why wait for your leader to die before you execute a plan when you could execute a plan with leaders advice?
Or just wait till he's dead with his advice, either way, it doesn't make a lot of sense.
