As a non-American, I hope my opinion will hold as much water as those whom were affected by bin Laden's various attacks. Australians, from what I know now, are quite happy about it, but of course, not ecstatic like the Americans.
I'm glad "justice" has been done, but I'm not optimistic about how placidly al-Qaeda will react. I'm sure they'll retaliate (maybe not immediately), and Americans (and the world, you could say) rejoicing will only anger them further. I don't believe in capitol punishment at all, and I realise with bin Laden, his crimes go far beyond the realm of "crimes," but executing him... of course, if he were going to kill the soldiers involved before they shot, then it's different.
Killing him won't bring back the victims of the terrorist attacks, or make their pain go away. This is essentially revenge, and I don't like the idea of revenge being viewed as a positive thing. I can only hope that the Americans don't get attacked again.
EDIT:
But the US brought it upon themselves in many ways, especially by letting the CIA betray it's own citizens by training Hussein, and putting him in charge in the middle east, as a distraction to actually go and obtain oil.
I suppose if I were American, or was affected by 9/11, I would be slightly offended- but mostly by your ignorance. One, you can't start a sentence with a conjunction, and two, more of a side note on my part, I hope you don't
actually think bin Laden and Hussein were linked! Dude, bin Laden labelled Hussein "an infidel." I'm sure
bin Laden wanted to support a man whom he perceives as an
infidel.
Hell, I don't even know why we're bringing up Iraq, which has only a tangential relationship to this topic at best.
Indeed. =/
