I think the U.S. could have captured them alive if they had really wanted to but it makes me almost afraid to be an American to know that our government and military are so bloodthirsty.

While I am relieved that two such violent and sadistic men are no longer able to inflict atrocities on their people, I am still saddened by the fact that they were not captured alive. These men may have been cruel, but they were a product of their upbringing and I guess I am just one who still thinks that murder is murder whether it's called murder, assasination, the death penalty or whatever.

I didn't mean to rain on anyone's parade, but damnit, I'm pregnant and I'm entitled to my opinion, even if it is against public opinion.
To have captured them and put them on trial would of been a clever move. What makes you think clever moves are suddenly going to start happening?

The publicity, the humiliation and the shame these two would of suffered would of been far more useful than a couple of dead bodies.
