I hear on BBC radio four news that the USA has assassinated Al-Qaeda founder and leader Osama Bin Laden. Do you view this as a justified action by the USA?

Saddam didn't have fanatical followers. He was a political leader, not a religious one.

Whenever the USA do this I always think of the atrocities the USA commited in Vietnam.

Look under "Agent Orange" or "Napalm" on the internet.

Thousands and thousands killed or maimed. People still being born with birth defects.

Far more killed and injured than ever died in the twin towers.

It makes you wonder who the worst terrorist is.

(I am not Muslim, nor any sort of fan of Bin Laden, but it always seems to me the USA can get away with anything they like, but as soon as anything is done against them it is all out war)

Yes, definitely. With a bit of luck, they'll get Gaddafi next.

I agree VHG and most attacks were carried out by Apache gunships, now let me see, weren't Apache's a race of natural Americans ethnically cleansed by the USA?

Wow on the Anti-American sentiment. That's pretty rich for a country that militarily conquered the world for profit. The Indian massacre of 1622 ,The Mystic massacre, Pamunkey Peace Talks all England. So much for the people that saved Jamestown.
The Apache wars started with the Mexican/American War and never stopped. They were a strong fighting nation and naming an attack helicopter after them is a pretty fitting tribute.
England profited in the trade of 3.5 million slaves just in the Atlantic so before we get too self righteous lets take a firm look at history as a whole.

"No. He was entitled to a fair trial".

"I'm not sorry he's dead, but I worry about the USA being our international police force".

I'm in total agreement with the above.

"England profited in the trade of 3.5 million slaves just in the Atlantic so before we get too self righteous lets take a firm look at history as a whole."

And it was, of course, England that eventually stopped it, if we look at "history as a whole". This point-scoring is pretty pointless. All countries have dark pasts. And some have pretty dark presents, admittedly.
