the point is that his cause was reinforced by this act.
Uh, no. No, it wasn't. Osama himself acknowledged that the attraction of his cause was because he was seen as being strong, not because his cause actually offers some enlightened moral truth. Well, not so much now. Osama did the best anyone could ever hope to do in evading reprisals from the US. And it
wasn't enough. The message here is that no one can strike at the US like that and remain safe, that we
will hunt terrorists down and kill them wherever they hide, however long it takes, that no amount of secrecy can protect them. That doesn't reinforce his cause, it weakens it. Bin Laden died in hiding, like a coward. Not on the battlefield like a hero.
he lost his life, but his death will strengthen his followers.
No, it will not. His death is actually pretty much irrelevant next to all the information that we captured in the process, which will further expose his network to attack. That will weaken them immeasurably. Secrecy was their only effective shield, and we're piercing it.
i certainly do not mourn his death, and , while i may have some sympathy for his cause, i vigoursly deplore his methods.
You have some sympathy for establishing a caliphate ruled by radical fundamentalist interpretations of Sharia law which would include the stoning of homosexuals?
Maybe you really are into that voluntary human extinction movement.
