Some people only feel good about themselves if they are complaining about everyone and everything else!
It's the "Debbie Downer" syndrome.
As much as I would appreciate seeing OBL's carcass dragged through the streets, displayed on a multi-state "torpedo of REAL truth" tour, it is more strategic to let this be. Here's some of the thinking involved:
If we did take him alive, he would be a focal point for his followers, making them much more determined to strike again.
If we defile his body and display it like they did, like a trophy, it would enrage not just his followers, but other factions that might be likely to join forces.
If we make it a front page story (the kill shot photos) it could make him a martyr in the eyes of his followers.
By burying him at sea, in accordance with muslim tradition, we have done two important things. We have shown the muslim world that we are respecting their religion while removing a "problem" from their midst. We have dramatically reduced the possibility of martyrdom of OBL by not having a grave site for his followers to visit.
For those incessant whiners, they need to grow a pair, open their eyes and do something more constructive with their lives. I wonder how many of these whiners live in Cambridge?
