Freedom is the only way, yeah!

Am I the only one that's a tad bit uneasy due to all of this? Any ideas as to where the missing nukes from the USSR are? I mean, I hope this doesn't end badly.
I come off as an arrogant jerk sometimes, feel free to bring me back down to level when that happens; however, it's not intentional most of the time.

Am I the only one who thinks the news is largely irrelevant? Sure UBL is dead, but what changes? does GWOT come to an end, does the US stop fighting 2.5 wars? does the patriot act magically disappear? do americans regain their civil liberties? Is terrorism gone?
No, because there's no practical reason for any of those things to really happen. Those who have gained power are no accustomed to it, and dont wanna give it back. Also, since he's been largely irrelevant in justifying the current wars and operations for 8 or so years, his death has no effect on that either. Terrorism remains, there are still huge numbers of groups worldwide, and UBL has been made an even greater martyr because he was killed at the hands of americans.
Sure it's feel good news, but it's largely irrelevant.
Anybody able to tell me why Fox is reporting him as "Usama Bin Landen" ?
Never have seen it spelled that way before, and it doesn't seem to be a typo, they're consistently reporting this story with that name, unlike every other media source.

well, people who are like LOL FOX NEWS are trying to say fox is stupid and typod, but actually Usama is just as accurate as Osama, since the spelling is based off the pronunciation of his Arabic name and somewhat ambiguous
Translations can vary depending on how you want to spell things. Look at how Japanese names can vary when they are translated into English, especially in the case of Toyota (the car manufacturer). Granted they changed their name for very specific and deliberate reasons.
This also means that the head honcho who likely orchestrated most of the attacks in recent years is dead. If he has meant something in the last 9 years to the power structure of the Taliban this will deal them a good blow. Though I'd imagine they have been prepared for some time for his eventual death as well as replacement.
Though I don't think anyone can replace him 100%, which is a good thing.

Well, someone on Reddit pointed out a cable wikileaks released said supposedly there was a nuke hidden in Europe that'd be detonated if he were to be killed. Now I wonder.... :X
Then again he gave no source so who knows.

How about putting his skull on top of the new World Trade Centre tower when it's finally completed? Now that's what I'd call an EPIC WIN!
Are there any details as to how he was killed, exactly? Shot? Poisoned? Blown up? Eaten by wolverines?
The more painful the better, I hope.
But anyway, all I gotta say is, fucking finally...
Sorry no politics on the site, use the unmoderated thread.
