OBL doesn't need to be killed. He needs to be arrested. Besides, killing OBL isn't going to stop terrorism, is it? |
I see your point, but as it was explained to me, we're better off with him dead. If he's only captured, there might be more kidnappings, accompanied by demands for him to be released or the kidnappees die.
So it's either kill him, or do nothing to him, IMO.
P.S. Killing him is unlikely to make matters worse, either. Also IMO.
