Should Osama bin Laden be put to death?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

No. Kind of pointless don't you think? Should attempted suicide bombers be executed? What's the point?

And of course the whole martyr deal.

No, what I mean is it is not a punishment.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Yes, obviously. Figures we have some ultraliberal extremists here who actually oppose the death penalty in clear cut cases like this.

or maybe people who realize execution is not a punishment to someone willing to die for their cause.

That's what I'd do, keep him in a fairly comfortable cell, but he is fed only pork. Now that'd be interesting.

I doubt very much that he takes the religion stuff any more seriously or sincerely than he takes his talk about the glories of suicide.  That talk is just to manipulate brainless barbarian nitwits into doing the things he's unwilling to do himself.  My bet is that he'd have no problem whatsoever eating pork.

then what the hell is he on this whole crusade about? Even if he doesn't care about all the nuances he's got to take some of the stuff seriously
