Obama or Osama
The murky deed is never appreciated and it get nabbed sooner or later into its own designed webs. The economist never clarify the things still the analysis is quite commendable. The recent article on Osama speak silently about the threat US has created among the civilian of Pakistan. One of the reader writes-
" Pakistan is way beyond spooked or humiliated, it was illegally invaded by a foreign country in a criminal operation. If it is legal for the US to go off to another country and kill anyone they want, then 911 was also a legal action. International laws exist for good reasons, and breaking them for convenience leads to really really bad outcomes.
Right now the entire Obama team is probably in a huge panic after they realize the legal consequences of their action. They shot and killed bin Laden who was unarmed, and it was done without trial, in a foreign country, by an invading force, thus is a war crime no matter how you justify it. Worse, the act was live fed to the white house, so there were dozens of people who saw it live, including Obama. The fallout will be devastating for US.
They will be forced to release the video at some point. Brace yourself."
Quite impressive one. But few points will always poke the grey matters in thinking chamber- Whether going by law will give any lesson to the atrocious mind? And if we don't follow laws than are we better than the animals.
Osama did the nasty not because he had hobby of doing that. The consequence was well known to him. Few statements says it was to address the world that only getting developed and showing powers to the feeble does not make some one adorable. The kind of dictatorship that US did in few African and Asian countries are well known to the world. The act of Osama was cruddy and the act of Obama is quite justifiable??? The way things were carried out by both are highly unappreciative.
The phrase "Power tends to corrupt, absolute power corrupts absolutely" holds good in both the cases.
