How Europe sees Obama "The Peaceprize" winner now!
From Der Spiegel, via Will at The Other News:
President Barack Obama's 'Retaliatory Justice'.While relief that Osama bin Laden has finally been eliminated is widespread, many in Europe and Germany are concerned about the implications of the targeted killing. German commentators on Wednesday say celebrating the al-Qaida leader's death is a blunder.Read the full story here.
In the three days since bin Laden's demise in his villa not far from Islamabad, however, some have begun having second thoughts about the US Special Forces operation. Europe, and particularly Germany, are uncomfortable with what looks increasingly like a targeted killing. Reports that bin Laden was not armed at the time of his death have only served to reinforce such unease.

The world would be a better place if the USA was conceptualized as either a crazy cowboy to whom a reckoning was always a desirable end, or a grunting Frankenstein liable to kill in any direction if pointlessly disturbed.
Pastorius,
The left in Europe is really pathetic. Do they not understand, that had we not been willing to target Bin Laden the way we did, even more innocent would have died? Do they really not see the destruction of evil as something to celebrate?
