To shoot or not to shoot?

Here's a fun topic! Should the USA bomb strategic military targets in Afghanistan and assasinate Osama Bin Laden (assuming he's found guilty of the attacks) or not? Please support your reasoning either way!

Without a doubt, yes! The executive order for Gerald Ford barring the US from assasination must be repealed. We can kill thousands at the body of the beast but we leave the head untouched. It is not only time to strenthen our bonds with Israel but to take a cue from them. If someone threatens use, chase them down in an apache gunship and kill them on the street.

The people of Afaganistan live in fear of a US reprisal. That reprisal must come but NOT at them. Bin Laden has earned his death a hundred times over allready. He must die. If it is found out that someone else planned this Bin Laden and they must die. This may be barbaric, but that is where we are at.

There are thousands of people in the that could become suicide soldiers of the right leader. The only way to eliminate this possibility is to commit total Theocide. The systematic destruction of all muslims. This is something that few sane people, even in our enraged state would seriously consider. However, there are few people that have the resources and infrastructure to carry out the trainning for a mission such as this. Funny thing about these fucks, they never fight on the front lines. Thay do not want to die. As long as there are places that will give them safe haven (Afganistan, Sudan et. al.) They feel safe to plan with impunity.

It is time to bring the terror to them. Let them fear the night when the demons fly from the darkness to reign death on them. Attack at random and at will. Let them know that death comes for them but not when. Attack anything near them, nothing else. Support for the likes of bin Laden are already shakey, let him be seen as the one that brings destruction to them. Let them begin to hate him themselves. The people of Afaganistan want to live there lives, they want nothing of these troubles.Let him be seen as the cause of these troubles and we will have him. In this way war will be staved off for another decade or so.

Don't make a martyr of him. That will only lead to further terrorism.

Bombing targets was shown as ineffective in Kosovo,mostly they just missed. If you kill Bin Laden, you are no better than him.

But if you let him live, and his followers, they're just going to wreak more destruction.

There is no way america could just get rid of every man woman and child in the world who supports Bin Laden. If we kill him and those around him he will be a martyr for those left and the violence will never end. If we strike Bin Laden and his followers counter attack, what will we do? Counter attack and counter attack until the hatred grows too deep between both sides to ever go away.

I think the point your missing is, there will always be people like this, but we have to stop countries from supporting them. I think we can do this. If we allow countries to aid, and finance mad men, they will have the means to attack us like this. If we take away their means, it will be much harder, and there will be much less of a chance of these things happening. Why should we allow countries to train people like this and protect them? Sure there will be people that hold a grudge against us if we take out Bin Laden, but if they don't have anyone to finance their revenge, they won't be able to do much. They'll be to busy trying to find food for themselves and their family.

Bin Laden enjoys the luxury of being finance by other countries. His only concern is plotting against the world, and he knows he will be financed, and supported in his attempts. We must take away that support.

No, we kill him, all his supporters, and then when other people try to retaliate against us, they are foiled by our heightened security.

Lets just kill all of Europe, that will solve a few problems at once, 5 birds with one stone kind of thing.

I don't think that we should kill bin laden, that would just make an martyr out of him and his followers would keep on doing his work. I think that we should put him in jail as a political prisioner though. I don't think that we should "carpet bomb" Afghanistan, that would make Arabic countries hate us more. Besides there are innocent people that would die. I hate those news guys who are saying that we know that it was bin laden and that we should carpet bomb Afghanistan . We don't know that it is bin laden, I personally don't think so because I would think that he would be taking credit for the destruction of the WTC. Assuming that it was Bin Laden For arguement sake I would say get him and throw him in prison.

Killing and war will not effect those terrorists.We should do something that they will never forget.

I don't think Bin Laden did that.He is not that brave.
