Question About Bin Laden----

[sixdogsmom]

Do you think that burial at sea in the traditional Muslim method was the right thing to do? Personally, I would have liked to see him chopped up and fed to the swine, then perhaps gather the excrement and scatter it in an appropriate location.

They have already buried him, or you are just saying? I haven't really watched much on TV about him. Not really daycare appropriate.

The report is that he was buried at sea to prevent his grave from becoming a symbol of something.  It was also done within 24 hours of his death in observance of Muslim tradition.

Yah Wilma, I know, but I bet that some of those relatives of the victims of 911 would have liked a whack at that carcass!

Now, why on earth would you want to give those poor little piggies food poisoning Six? LOL

I wondered about that, too.  But I think that the burial at sea as soon as possible was the right thing to do.  I hope I can find the words to express myself.  Burying him as soon as possible downplayed his importance.  We did it, now let's get on to the next one.  I saw on the news tonight that the president and others watched the operation in Real Time.  In other words it was being transmitted as it happened.  Don't you think it is odd that they managed to carry this out without discussing it all over the world before it happened?

That's one more down out of that deck of cards.

The answer is, he was killed for his crimes.  He paid his sentence.   SO yeah bury him.  At sea was the best choice.  It prevented a martyres grave.

I agree with how it has been handled.  Glad cooler heads than mine were making the decision.

[Lookatmeknow!!]

I see. I just wasn't aware of this tradition.

I totally agree with you all!!
