67. Most Americans and in fact most of the world assumed he was
already dead. He is simply not that important to the rest of the world. They have their own problems and this country lost any sympathy it had long ago when it started, and continues, to kill innocent people for oil, using 9/11 as an excuse. Which has grown old now in most parts of the world.

Frankly when you travel these days no one wants to hear the words '9/11' anymore. We have lost our moral authority since the slaughter and abuses in Iraq and elsewhere.

But that's why we elected Democrats, to try to restore respect for this country. Instead, the world now sees that it was not just Bush, that it is America, Americans who think it's okay to go around killing people with drones, eg, invading the airspace of sovereign nations to perhaps, (and we will have to wait for more information on this, but it WILL be demanded), extra-judiciously execute an 'accused', please note the word 'accused', terrorist. IF this was the case, then the US has committed a crime. Hopefully it was not.

It's very simple. We have laws, all we need to do is abide by them. You appear to be trying to make excuses just in case we did not. I apply the same standards to everyone. I would like to think our Constitution is not being violated as it was under Bush. Like Michael Moore, I have more hope of that under this president than under Bush. We will see, but foremost and of the utmost importance, will always be whether or not the law was observed. I'm sorry you do not agree with that.
