Actually, Ace, you might want to re-think that "high-caliber round through the brainbox" bit.

After all, if there's karmic justice in knowing that BL is sitting in his cave watching his plans for world dominion going down the toilet, it would be karma cubed to have him spending the rest of his natural life (decades worth) in an 8x10 cell listening to that interminable flushing sound being played over and over and over .....

You may say that I'm a dreamer...

"Brainbox"? You're aiming about three feet too high there.

I would prefer to use a Claymore myself. Something about 300 steel ball bearings powered by 2lbs of C-4 does that to me.

Actually, it would be even better for him to end his life choked to death by some pissed off Middle Eastern woman who just came from voting in a democratic government for her country.

On the one hand, I agree with Doug. On the other, unless we can invent a punishment that forces UBL to experience every moment of fear, horror, sadness, loss, anger, despair, and pain that each and every one of his victims ever suffere, NO punishment will be as bad as he deserves, so we might as well just save ourselves the trouble and introduce him to Mr. BMG Round.

I agree that UBL unleashed the greatest force for freedom the Middle East has ever seen.

Neo-Isolationist President George Bush became Global Crusader for Freedom President George Bush only because UBL bit off way more than he could chew.

UBL brought US onto himself and his little jihadi followers.

He needs to share a cell with Saddam.

You guys are sadly lacking in imagination. Here's the scene: Binny knows he's surrounded, but he's gonna make one last stand, and take a few Americans with him. He's at a window, watching, watching, his AK-47 at his side.

He hears a rustling behind him. He turns, and sees dozens of insect-like creatures in the room. They look a little like cockroaches, but their skin is metal and their brains are silicon. Their eyes are LED sensors glowing dull red in the dark. They are each armed with a tiny rocket-like weapon, and they're all aimed at him. They are wirelessly controlled by a satellite, that in turn is hooked up to....

In the basement room of a non-descript Army base in Florida, a young black woman sits hunched behind a computer monitor. Her eyes widen, and a broad smile breaks across her face. She gives her robots the signal to fire....

"They look a little like cockroaches"

How about puppies? Could they look like puppies?

"She gives the robots the signal to fire..."

continued...

And shrieks with delight as her dice rolls up a Natural 20!

"Osama, you miserable half-Orc, that's a critical hit. Ain't no saving throw on earth that's gonna save you now!"

End scene.

See what fun the IDF is missing out on?

Apparently, some Muslims are getting fed up w/ OBL as well. Some imams in Spain just issued a fatwa against him.

FWIW, I don't think we can kill him painfully enough or slowly enough to satisfy -- well, basically almost everybody's -- lust for revenge. I think maybe the best punishment for him is what he has right now -- a dwindling circle of friends, impotent, and obscure.

My own personal vision of the death of Mr. Bin Laden always involved a couple of cinder blocks, a few yards of logging chain, and the waste lagoon at an industrial hog farm
I guess being an Italian living in the South can lead to some strange mental synergy.

I think he's right on the money. It's much the same way Hitler brought Western Europe together after WW II, or how Stalin gifted the world with NATO.

I suppose it is interesting that all of these epochal Western doctrines that each so greatly shaped the world were reactions to great evil.

No, no, no. You guys have it all wrong! The best way for him to die for Dubya to give him a quick peck goodbye, then slowly choke him with an american flag handkercheif, while softly singly the hymn "All Things Bright and Beautiful"

Just imagine if Clinton would have been still president.
A few hundered tomahawks and smothies in the oval office and it would have been all over. UBL movement would be in going gangbusters!

They will learn to only attack during liberal slack jawed white houses.
