HTOTM: FUSION
If anything, it'll mean more problems.

More followers of Bin Laden will start suicide bombings, more plane hijacking, or possibly worse things.
Obviously a bad thing.

Honestly, killing Osama was the worst thing you could possibly do. Now terrorists have a reason to sacrifice them selves in order to destroy america. And even worse, if they find his body, they could make a tribute to him. The Navy could of put him in jail, shot him in his leg, even tranquilized him. Anything other than killing him would've had a better outcome than whats going to happen. Silly Americans, learn from Canada, they'll tell you that justice needs to be served.

You already listed 5 or so other countries, now you say only russia has one? And you compare modern America to the soviets? Most countries have anti-ICBM systems... eg; poland has one.
Poland's has not been tested, America's endured excessive testing.
Yes it has, they actually use the same system as USA. lol...

You ignore the fact that a person can ONLY be killed once, and the planet can ONLY be destroyed once. Not to mention that destroying the planet is a completely and utterly retarded thing to do.
Never said it wasn't, but according to you, america is utterly retarded, and it sounds like a thing that our redneck presidents would have fun doing.
They have all parts of the bell curve, it is just that they glorify violence (as you are right now, way to conform to stereotypes!)

Only one ever made, not replicated, also, I was simply showing the average standard for current American warheads.
Yes, the militarism in the north decayed and was replaced by peace. How is that a bad thing?

Many countries can.
Lies
France, Israel, India, etc...

And besides, in 5 years USA will technically belong to China, a fact not to be taken lightly.
US also has ridiculously low education rates, a fact that you cannot gloss over with "We has moar bombs!!111"
Compared to what? The US does have what I would consider mediocre education rates, but they certainly are much better then your average child in india, or most of Europe, who receives modicum education if any. Also, a country like china will not try to claim you if you can blow it up. Who the hell would go silently?
And yet you are. You are already somewhere between 30-50% owned by China, where are you fighting back? There is no way you can take on China in military strength without having the rest of the world to fight too.
Another American stereotype emerges, the "ultimate sore loser" attitude. You would rather nuke the world than dissolve. Disgusting.

If america had kept osama alive it would havebeen worser than killing him. They would bring a whole army to the west coast or east coast? They would go on a killing spree and won't stop until they found him. Terrorists only have one reason to destroy a certain place. That reason is for their country like in america. I think they are jist dazed a little and then in 2012 they'll cause a nuke shower or something.

America has already fucked itself, it's only a matter of time before it's a 3rd world country.

Also the 'death' of Osama Bin Laden only gave the US public a reason to invade Pakistan.

On a military stage I guess you are right, but the US has had to bite their tongue before, as although they may be able to stand up to third world nations, they find it hard to fight against the economic and diplomatic powers of other nations. Especially in US where capitalism is king, and money is a god, economic power quickly outweighs military.

Military is only 1 aspect.
...Killing Osama Bin Laden brought closure to the lives of thousands who lost a loved one, or knew someone who lost a loved one in the 9/11 incident. Forget all the political "hoopla" about the next organized terrorist leader and just take that in for a few minutes.

People will step up and say "I'm going to do something crazy because they killed my leader", and we'll deal with it. But killing Osama Bin Laden, while not bringing peace in the world, brought peace of mind to enough Americans to make them proud of their nation. End of story.

I don't understand that. Surely not all Americans think that simply running around murdering people is the right thing to do. Surely at least some of them believe in justice?

Why did the US invade the middle east and kill tens of thousands of civilians of not to bring closure? What was the point of all this slaughter if you wipe it off as just a means to get to Osama? Why are the lives of Americans worth so many orders of magnitudes more than Iraqis?

The assassination of Osama was revenge for the 9/11 attack, which was revenge for US's actions in the middle east. Surely in doing this you are asking for the "terrorists" to react and attack again? Aren't the US's actions just provoking a response rather than ending war?


Why should anyone be proud of America breaking international law, invading countries, slaughtering civilians, assassinating targets rather than bringing them to justice, and at the same time refusing to try those who commit war crimes?

I see nothing to be proud of.
Well the death of Osama couldve been for the worst just because it could have made the already out of control Taliban into a more aggressive group than they already were. But then again it could've been for the best considering it was basically the controlled leader of the Taliban which might've just weakened the small amount of organization that they had.
