As an American I am gratified that Osama Bin Laden has been neutralized. I have to disagree that the method of disposal of his body is a mistake. That discussion is a total no win situation. If he had been buried his grave would have been a target for desecration and/or veneration. Desecration is also a violation of Islamic tradition, and one reason for a burial at sea.

If pictures are released that is also a no win situation. Many may suggest that they were a religious affront an attempt disrespect a religious warrior and/or a fake. I am satisfied that the decisions that have been made are the best in this strange situation.

If Osama Bin Laden is still alive he can make himself known, as he has in the past.

The proof of death ultimately will be the absense of the proof of life.

I also believe that no death should be celebrated, that if anyone loses their life is a lose to everyone, even sociopath who has caused immeasurable harm.
