I just woke up and that's the first thing I've heard on the radio. I've been quite shocked, for I have basically lived half of my life in a world utterly marked by this man's actions. Now I wonder what's going to happen, and I'd like to find more informations on what exactly happened...

Edit : Ah, there's already an article on Wikipedia : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Osama_bin_Laden

Time for his 72 virgins I guess. Let's just hope this has actually damaged al-Qaeda itself.

Turns out the Americans killed him with fire. Ground forces were able to take the base in under an hour, I heard, and retrieved his body from the burning building a bit later. It's incredible how quickly they were able to do this, considering how he's been well hidden for so long...

But no terrorist organisation worth their salt is going to stay down after this. They'll have a period of confusion, then rally to absolutely pour molten shit on America and co. And after that they'll start in-fighting. This is going to be interesting. :|

Yeah that's what I'm kinda worried about; felt the same when Saddam Hussein was hanged. I'm still glad he finally got what he deserved though.

Excellent news. He most definitely deserved to die. Pity it didn’t happen ten years ago.

This is an excellent joke. I think I’ll use this one.

How on earth can you predict exactly how the terrorist organisations will react?

Good to know 13yo European kids with a lack of good English fail to realise that the man in question caused well over 3,000 to die in New York on September 11th 2001, plus people that died years later from illnesses caused by toxins coming from the wreckage. 8)

Have they not released any pictures yet? :mefiant:

and @Spiral: Of course I don't know exactly, I was just exhorting a possible and rather likely path that things will go down.

Props to the troops for finishing him off, finally people stop caring about the Royal Wedding! :D

On a more serious note, I'm glad he's gone now. It justs slightly confuses me that people go out on the streets and celebrate. I mean, c'mon, I can perfectly refer to the relieved feeling he's dead, but a death itself is never a positive incident, no matter how cruel the person has been. People who are such a huge threat and were responsible for harming/killing so many people surely deserve it. But it doesn't sound okay to me when people turn it into a celebration. Despite Bin Laden being an utter dork.

That's good, but i don't find right to celebrate a man's death.

I would have to agree with you, Superlol... Besides, since no photos or other evidence have yet surfaced, perhaps any 'celebration' is premature. 'Twould be a shame if this mutated into a conspiracy.
