The gloating President

More confusion surrounds the events leading to the execution of Osama Bin Laden as it emerges he was unarmed and was captured alive. Apart from the dangerous precedent this sets the way Obama gloated over this extrajudicial killing showed a dark side to this President who like the dictators that are plaguing the Middle East has gotten the taste for blood.
A year before elections he had hoped that this reckless act would save his pitiful presidency. Instead we have to brace ourselves for a series of reprisals making the world a less safer place and losing any moral high ground that the war on terror may have commanded.
The rule of law is paramount and by ignoring the very tenants of good governance we are all endangered.
