Osama bin Laden was killed in a U.S. assault on his Pakistani compound on Monday, then quickly buried at sea to prevent his grave becoming a shrine.
May he rest in peace.

One thing i am sure is that,there will be more OSAMA in the making, as long as people see injustice, unfairness, bully and the oppression.
ReplyDeleteThe world can never be a peaceful place,when you see injustice prevailing,,,,
yeah, my friend told me about the news, and the first thing i thought was "how ironic - he died out of a bomb (which was his good friend)".. guess this is karma right?? but i'm afraid this would create more terrorist attacks following his death..
ReplyDeleteI believe Obama already knew Osama's whereabout ages ago. Another conspiracy (for the election). Where is the body?
ReplyDeleteOK I still not sure if Osama is really dead or is this all part of Obama's plan to retain his presidency? Whatever, I dun want Donald Trump to be the next President so it's all good with me, LOL!
ReplyDeleteThe first time I saw the headlines "Osama Killed", I misread and was thinking, "Gosh, another US president assasinated?"
ReplyDelete*blush*
The death of Osama is only symbolic, but nothing will change.
Now that he's dead and justice is served.. All we have to wait for is another retaliation from another Osama.
ReplyDeleteEugene, the world being such, I would have to agree with what you're saying.
ReplyDeleteSK, if everyone believes in karma, there'd be more peace on earth. Also, John Lennon's lyrics come to mind:
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
Ai Shiang, I read that they already knew months ahead and started tracking the couriers that eventually led them to the house. Ironically, the house is located near a prestigious military academy. The house has been there some years now. The land area is much bigger than the houses around it and there are high walls. There's no phone nor internet line.
ReplyDeleteThe body was buried at sea after Islamic rites were conducted - I read about this. US is now considering whether to show pictures of him worried that it might offend some quarters. If I remember correctly, he was shot in the left eye.
Foong, Donald Trump for President? Why not, eh?
ReplyDeleteShingo, just like goodness, bad will always be there to balance things up. The Yin and Yang formula is the order of the day, perpetually. That's the law of nature.
CES, how realistic that is. Sadly, we have to live life forward and stay vigilant at all times. Thank you for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteOsama always made me think of Emmanuel Goldstein in Orwell's famous book "1984".
ReplyDeletePerhaps Osama died in December of 2001 as was widely reported. Clearly though, he is only a figure relevant to mythology and propaganda for the politics of war (by many sides), and his passing (if that is what has occurred) will settle nothing.
