A scenario I thought about Bin Laden.

[Squidusa]

Something I was just wondering.
Say in a hypothetical scenario  , Osama Bin Laden had gone insane (ok MORE insane  ) and was no longer his former self therefore not a threat.

Would there still be a reason to kill him?

Personally I think he should be locked away to avoid him regaining his former self , but idk.

Was just something that popped into my head.

If it was possible it would have been good to to use him to discredit his fellow terrorists.  Having him eating pork and boozing it up would have been a though

Thats true  :lol:

As strange as it sounds I always like the thought that someone like that could be changed and become a normal good person.

I'm aware it's pretty much unrealistic but it's a nice thought at least.

In his view, Osama bin Laden was good. Most people do not view themselves as evil. It all depends on your position.

Ok then . the "I don't wish to blow anyone to smithereens" kind of good then.

If OBL was in a jail cell somewhere, regardless of his mental status, his followers would be out taking hostages and demanding his release.  The only place he is no longer a threat is in a pineapple under the sea.

Why is there a lowercase "i" in the middle of that formation?

Osama bin Laden should be held liable for his own actions, not those of his followers. They have free will; they can choose to follow or not follow his teachings. What matters is how much of a threat bin Laden was personally to the US and other countries.

The fact that you'd potentially see a man in that kind of mental state dead honestly makes you as bad as he was imo.

"Pinapple under the sea" 

Well just play devils advocate , why did his followers place him in a mansion so close to the pakistani army?
Maybe they had no use for him any longer therefore if he was imprisoned would they really care?

OK, for the sake of argument, say that I was perfectly sane and tortured your whole family to death while you watched and heard their screams of agony, but I left only you alive.

Then say I tortured 3000 others to death under similar circumstances.

Then I went on the run and evaded arrest for ten years, but I got Alzheimer's Disease shortly before I was captured.

Wouldn't you still want me to fry for what I did to your whole family and the other 3000 people?
