The death of Osama bin Laden - is hate ever justified?

This is not about Vengeance, Hate, or Rotting in Hell! Bin Laden was an Oppressive Despot, and an Abuser of the Free World, who had to be stopped! As a practical matter, in these situations where we are being victimized and abused, the very least we can do, is to stop the abuse. Which is good for both Us, and the Abuser, for even an Abuser is abused,if his abuse is allowed to continue. Despots cannot be allowed to flourish, and must be stopped in their despotism. Love of self, and love of the despot demands it. This does not mean that if you are being hurt, you have to hurt back. It simply means that to allow another to continually inflict damage, may not be the most loving thing to do - for the other, or for yourself! Treating others with Love, does not mean allowing them to do as they wish! In this case a bullet through the head of Asama Bin Laden, was the Kindest, most Loving Act, available to those Heroic US Navy Seals!

I understand what you are trying to say my friend ,but these are the kind of people that if you don't destroy them first, they will destroy you because that's how fanatics are.

Hate can only ever hurt us. It hurts us more than it hurts the ones we hate. Hate does not solve anything. They say that the only thing to fear is fear itself. Well I say the only thing to hate is hate itself. I don't want negativity in my heart. Peace can never be obtained from hatred. Peace can only be obtained through love.

I am glad you posted this, that was my feeling also. Revenge never cures the problem it only increases fear and rage. There is no closure from this those that were killed are still gone and those that were hurt are still hurt. Until we can get past the "eye for an eye' attitude the world cannot find peace. Christ said turn the other cheek. There is no hope of getting off the wheele of karma unless each and everyone of us can do this.

No, I don't believe that hate can ever be justified. You're right about the multiplication factor. It just teaches more hate. I saw the breaking news and live broadcast on the BBC. During the live broadcast I saw children's clothing and toys The compound seemed to have been home to lot of children. It made me sick to see all the children's toys and clothing. I thought perhaps they had been killed in the raid. yet.... When the tape was shown later on in the day, all the video tape of the children belongings had been been edited. This morning the BBC started to show the tape and as soon as the bloodied rooms were shown, the tape was muted. Then, suddenly they cut away to a station identification screen and the film was removed. I find this most curious. Do we really know what happened?
