Like Clinton said, if he did that, then he's no better than Bin Laden.

Here in America, we are supposed to have principles. Sometimes, that makes it harder and could be more risky. When you have principles, the ends do not justify the means.

I tend to agree with you, but at the same time, it is pretty close to universally agreed that dropping the A-bombs was the right move.

Using that position that, I would have rather him taken him out. Obviously, hindsight is 20/20

I just highly doubt 300 people would have died with OBL. We weren't going to wipe a town off the map when we have precision strikes. A handful of people probably die that are somewhat innocent. Does it suck? sure but id trade some people of another country for american lives and the shite show we have been in since 9/11. Im not blaming bill for 9/11 because it is hindsight but id probably pulled the trigger. It is a tough decision but 300 people is a whole lot less than those that were killed directly and indirectly by obl.
