Do I believe Bin Laden is dead? Yes
Do I believe the US killed him? No
Do I believe that he died on May 2nd 2011? No
I believe that there's more of a chance he tripped over his thobe and fell down the stairs, then the US forces killing him :) But that's just me!
The American Government wastes no time in parading their "heroic" actions. They paraded Saddam Hussein, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, so why on God's Earth would they not parade Bin Laden - especially if he was all shot up and what not! At the end of the day he's definitley dead because the US wouldn't make such a statement unless they were sure no more videos will turn up - ooo unless they found all his pre-recorded stuff and seized all his recording equipment! Heck - Bin Laden might still be alive!!!
Now lets discuss the impact of his death. It's pretty simple - there is none. Those who are not brainwashed by their government know that far too much has been lost to celebrate even one more death...no matter what his crime was. We've lost our freedom, countless lives, spent billions on wars that should never have been and most importantly lost trust in our leaders. Ask the hundreds of thousands of people affected in Afghanistan, Iraq and Guantanamo Bay who their perpetrators are - they are not going to say Bin Laden's name that's for sure. He didn't rape a 14 year old girl and then burn a her corpse, it was a US soldier. He didn't lock up innocent men in a far away hell hole for an undetermined length of time, it was our prime ministers and presidents.
Put this all into perspective - so what if Bin Laden's dead? What has changed? Our countries are still being threatened because our forces are in countries they don't belong in. It's not Bin Laden that has made us vulnerable - it was our own Prime Minister and the US President, and the fact is, that's how they like it. Fear allows then to cross all limits, those who speak out against the governments crimes have no fear therefore far more logical.
You can say what you want, the fact is we're never going to know the truth. No matter what though, a logical mind will tell you something just doesn't sit right...
