I think want of the points of the bin Laden thing is just people to admit it was about vengeance and blood. He did not have to die but some on needed to catch that bullet. Dropping him out of a boat was actually one of the the most important respectful things we could do as 2 of the 3 Abrahamic religions don't believe too about what they call idolatry of symbols. Quit, decisive burials. We could have paraded and desecrated the body like beheaders.

You mean like we did to Haiti when the USA was full blown imperialist Empire trying to take over another country with Charlemagne Péralte
They dropped fliers of his dead body all over the island.An officer by career, Charlemagne Péralte was the military chief of the city of Léogâne when the US Marines invaded Haiti in July 1915.
Refusing to surrender to foreign troops without fighting, Péralte resigned from his position and returned to his native town of Hinche to take care of his family's land. In 1917, he was arrested for a botched raid on the Hinche gendarmerie payroll, and was sentenced to five years of forced labor.[1]:212 Escaping his captivity, Charlemagne Péralte gathered a group of nationalist rebels and started guerrilla warfare against the US troops.
Péralte was shot in the heart at close range.[1]:217 Hanneken and his men then fled with Peralte's body strapped onto a mule.[1]:218
In order to discourage rebel support from the Haitian population, the US troops took a picture of Charlemagne Péralte's body tied to a door, and distributed it in the country.
I'm not disagree with them you know... they said:
And it reminded that we indeed did that before and it backfired... and there are a few comments saying that what to do with Bin Landin was a tough choice because it could backfire similar to what happened in Haiti.We could have paraded and desecrated the body like beheaders.
Yet...we didn't. Unless you go back about a century in US history, which has...what to do with Bin Laden, again? I think PACOX is fairly familiar with how awful much of US history is dude, and I still don't see the relevance to his comment given that he's talking about America circa early 2000's, not America circa the early 1900's
I know PACOX is... not everything I say has to be contrarian to the poster. why don't you take it as "hey remember that one time when we actually did that?"
If I'm talking to someone and they mention "it would be crazy if the french came to America and stole some of our national treasures" and I say "you know that reminds me of the time the french actually did that but to South Korea." I don't think it's at all "weird" to bring up...
The above is essentially just swapping out usa for sk, or osama for haitian nationalist leader. Note here I am not equating them as people, but just looking at the actions of America.
Early 1900s America and present-day America isn't too different when it comes to foreign policy. I mean the invasion of hati literally comes down to the banana wars... which incidentally isn't too radically different to how America acted until well... today. At least some people want to invade and overthrow people in Latin America and it comes down to once again...political systems.
So are you sure the early 20th century America is much different from early 00s America? I'm not convinced... not on foreign policy.

I can see how it sounds like that looking at the post lol. My assumption was "PACOX probably knows my posting habits and we agree in a lot of political threads so they'll get what I mean" but without that assumption it is ambiguous.
Another thing, I rarely ever get a chance to bring up the Haiti thing, doesn't come up so often. So when you mention parading desecrated bodies it was the perfect opportunity. I also don't think many people even know about that event, let alone that we literally invaded them. And it is all kind of relevant to the issues around 9/11 and the entire war not terror.
I remember studying 9/11 as a kid in the late 2000's and a lot of those videos they had were up for years and now they've been deleted. I hate the censorship on YouTube.
