My take? It's a xenophobic rant by a bigot. Whoop de doo.
I agree that Bin Laden's body should have been returned to the US, but to stand trial and execution, like Saddam. Capital punishment exists in America, Pakistan and Afghanistan, so that shouldn't have been any problem.
Without giving him a trial, the Americans lowered themselves to his level, and there is a huge ideological problem with that. If you are prepared to sacrifice your own standards and ideals in the name of revenge, the future will go very wrong for you. I think it was Ghandi who claimed that "eye for an eye will surely make the world go blind". He was a criminal, so treat him as such. Oh yeah, I forgot, that's how criminals are treated in third world countries like Afghanistan and America
As for Pakistan, who knows what the government is planning long term, but it's clearly more than America are planning long term, considering this is just going to cause future problems just like every other bodged US military mission. Oh no, boo hoo, we give them aid. This segregationist, nationalist bullshit irritates me no end.
Anyway, do people really treat Pat Condell seriously? This is a guy who has no problem with the slaughter of thousands of innocent people, but turned vegetarian because he felt sorry for the poor ickle animals.
