It is a tough decision but 300 people is a whole lot less than those that were killed directly and indirectly by obl.
Think of it in terms of our privacy at home. Most people here are against government intrusions on privacy... like listening in on our conversations.
What if the government was given free-reign to listen in? Sure, they may catch more criminals and terrorists or whoever, but we are supposed to have principles. We will take our chances because we value freedom and privacy. They will have to find another way, and we will take the risk.
Same thing in regards to taking out Bin Laden at the expense of hundreds of people. Sure, you will kill Bin Laden, but as Americans, we are supposed to have principles and if that makes our lives a little less safe, then so be it.

They didn't hit the camp because there was a slide near it. They did not want to kill children. They had a rough idea about how many people were there but weren't sure. Now those children are all grown up doing the will of those who raised them. Good Call Bill

Agree. This board routinely bashes Obama for the drone strikes (and rightfully so). We'll never know if one of the targets would have pulled off another 9-11.
