A number of imbeciles , determined to display their liberalness, and at the same time stick another fork into the countries and societies that raised them have begun to wail about poor Osama Bin Laden' lost rights. Apparently, this guy deserved a trial, ostensibly under some international jurisdiction (which doesn't exist). Yeah sure. Before i even listen to such folks i would have to ask who they think this guy actually was. Was he a soldier? If so, of what country? Was he a criminal? In which case could he have simply fled to any country which had no extradition treaty and thus escaped justice? Either way, there is a logical base for their musings but not a moral or ethical one. It is not moral high ground to make it virtually impossible for terrorists to meet justice, it contrarianism. It is not ethical to obstruct justice. While Plato's Republic may have laid justice at the feet of the victor, it is the system of ethics we live by in our daily lives. It has to apply to the big things as well.
For the record, there was no need for a trial in order to mete justice. Osama represents no nation or army. Osama admitted to his leadership role in 9-11. He repeatedly stated his intention to do as much future harm as he deemed necessary. He posed a continued threat to our safety and society. There isn't any wriggle room here. He killed, maimed and threatened people of the United States. He thus deserved to be killed. There would never be any rehabilitation because rehab is impossible if the subject truly believes he is in the right.
At the same time, a good many Christians and others are being killed on the basis of religion. More specifically Christians and certain Muslim sects are being persecuted to the point of murder. For some reason, this does not elicit any response from the low lifes (chomsky, moore, siddiqui, mulcair) other than a watery: I find ANY religious persecution to be unacceptable (hey, i could write for trudeau). Did you get that? Just like Obama hinted, 'any' persecution, including all that nasty islamophobic stuff that isn't happening. This lack of outrage regarding the murder of Christians and others by muslim idiots is easy to explain: It doesn't fit the narrative.
The story is that Muslims are peaceful and just like us. The extremists that kill innocent children were driven to this by their political/economic/historical circumstances, which are so severe that acting out with the occasional intricately planned mass murder of innocent people (especially children) is not only understandable, but maybe even justified. Besides, there are so few extremist Muslims that it shouldn't even be pointed out that they all follow the same faith, and that their faith told them to kill some kids. Given that narrative, there isn't much interest in reporting or commenting on widespread religious persecution in places like Nigeria, never mind the hopey changey capital of the world: Egypt.
The Arab spring is a beacon of hope for all the hopey changey genius' because they want the whole middle east problem to go away. They also don't want to be proven wrong over and over again regarding the whole cultural equivalence thing. Honestly, unless you are george galloway you have to admit that most Muslim countries are places you would not want to emigrate to (especially if you have daughters). Moreover, the reason for this decision are usually based on facets of islamic law esconced in the countries culture/criminal code. So what to do? You can't blame the Jews for everything. Well, if the various rotten states of the Middle East were to turn into functioning western style democracies, that would end the argument once and for all. They would be just like us right? Wrong. A cursory look at incidents in the area will show you that average folks in places like Egypt are much more excitable than you or I. Churches burning, people killed in sectarian violence....all that kind of thing. But the churches burned are Coptic (Christian) churches and the people killed are Coptic people. They are killed by large numbers of Muslims. The average folk of Egypt rose up and overthrew the government, then the average Muslim folk in Egypt decided to start killing Christians. Kind of hard to make the 'they are just like us' argument there, no?
The perpetrators will not meet justice, as no investigations are truly being made. And none of the aforementioned wags, so upset by the death during capture of the mass murderer Osama, are making any noise about justice and process of law. Instead they are muttering about 'sectarian' violence, and reminding us that Zionists, poverty, and American imperialism have left these people with no other choice than to kill people of other religions than their own. In the end, there will be no mortal justice for the victims of Islamic murder and oppression, at least not if we rely on the liberal left to make the case.
