The 'pain' Osama bin Laden is minute compared to the thousands of other faceless culprits that still continue to persecute human lives to this day.

You ask, why are these people not brought to justice as well? Because people with the mindset of issuing blame on a sole individual that the media has decided to target allows them to remain lurking in the desolate shadows, continuing their heinous persecutions of others. Regardless, I wouldn't want to murder him, them, that guy exercising, that woman eating ice cream, that tyke eating a frog, that serial murderer in the swamps of El Salvador ready to carve up his next victim, or anyone else, even if I could be absolved of the crime and be all the better for it. It is all a matter of common human decency that allows us to at least be mindful of the perhaps misplaced thought that there is not someone plotting to kill you. Sometimes we are wrong in that delusion, history does teach us that, but it at least give us a semblance of the policy that keeps most satified with the day-to-day life; "We don't ask, we don't tell".

I honestly do not see the point of this thread at all but it being a half-hearted attempt to incite inflammatory responses; with or, most assuredly without, just cause to condemn a person to death. If we go about thinking such thoughts, how much good does it do us if we are now engulfed within the mindset of those wretches we seek to kill. I am sure those that feel they have the right to slay another human being have the mentality that they too, are justified, and have pondered upon the justification of it all beforehand.
