So separate them for me. Bin Laden was seen as a leader and head of terrorist groups. Hitler was the leader of the German army. Both carried out mass murders on innocent people. Their mediums, weather planes or gas chambers don't really matter.
What do their objectives matter? Neither succeeded in their objectives so it's pointless to even discuss them when debating their actions. The actions are what matter and they both went about their business in the same fashion. Would you really say Bin Laden isn't a sociopath?
I still don't see why not to applaud. In the greater scheme of things, a person's life is as invaluable as that of an ant's in our eyes.
>>and this permits you to abandom the human rights too huh?
it's the law of the land, they were on Pakistani soil to they obey their laws, which just so happens to not include most if not all of the human rights that are sacred over here.
Hitler killed alone in Poland 3 million people. He sent in troops of his own to attack Germany and because of that, he had a legitimate reason to attack Poland. Sure, Hitler and Bin Laden are both Murderers, BUT Hitler always had backups and placed himself in a privillaged position.
So, in my eyes he was at very first a polititian and then a murderer.
Bin Laden operated as he pleased. He didn't need a reason. He didn't have the presure of a whole country on his shoulders. Bin Laden did not kill near as much people as Hitler did.
Bin Laden isn't a sociopath; he did not differenciate between the Master Race and other races. He did not use Darvin's evolution theory to create social Darvinism. All he did was use religion - he promissed eternal life with a lot of virgins to his members. He merely decieved/let his members believe that it is a good thing to serve him; it serves a higher proposal.
Now, I believe that Bin Laden wanted to take revenge on America for whatever reason. He does not disapprove of the western culture as a whole ( the EU would've been a easier target, wouldn't you say ? ) and therefore he is more of a terrorist than a sociopath.
Also, Hitler wasn't just a leader of an army. He had control over the legislative, the executive and the judicative branch, which makes him something more powerfull than a leader.
Also, I do not share your oppinion on the value of a human being. Placing a value on something means that one can own that very thing. If something is invaluable, then it is free for anyone to take - makes sence, or?
And that is why one should not applaud - nothing changes with the value of a human life. The death of Bin Laden is as important as the death of maybe your aunt or something. The only thing what makes Bin Laden's death so different are the consequences that come along. If you want to applaud the consequences, do as you want. But not the death or the life of a human being.
