A Wasted Bullet

I like to call things for what they are. At least that is what writers are supposed to do when working on their craft. Killing someone in cold blood is murder. It may sound a bit better for government bureaucrats to call murder a targeted assassination. However, all assassinations whether performed by Mafia gangs, government agents, or SEALS are murder.
It doesn´t matter on whose side one is, Bin Ladin was murdered in cold blood. Was it necessary to kill him? I doubt it. The SEAL team that went in to get him were highly trained and capable of taking Bin Ladin alive. The job was not much more difficult than arresting your neighbor Harry who is a bit of a nut and keeps a Kalashnikov in his bedroom.
I imagine that Osama was shot, therefore I can also say that was a wasted bullet. Instead of being tried like a criminal he died like a martyr and has become an example to every anti American whether Muslim or not.
Actually, if the American security services were masters of elegant solutions, they would have left Osama in peace and just watched him from a prudent distance. The King of Terror was not doing much at all except for appearing on YouTube once in a while and becoming more and more boring.
Ayman Al-Zawahiri who was the number two man in Al Qaeda is the new boss. He was pretty much the strategic and operations planner, so the raid on the Bin Ladin compound has not changed much of anything inside the organization.
As it turns out, the greatest manhunt in history doesn't even make a good story.
I feel sorry for the SEALS who did the dirty deed. They performed a mission for nothing and have to live with murder on their consciences.
