Pandora's box.

Israel pauses to mark Holocaust Day and the Western world rejoices that Bin Laden is taken out with Obama declaring that justice was done. Even the President of Peru claims it was Pope John Paul's  second miracle.
What has happened here is a very dangerous precedent. If the rule of law is ignored then everyone becomes a legitimate target. The operation to get Bin Laden was designed to kill him not capture him and put him on trial, now that may be convenient for Obama who seems to be enjoying failure after failure and was gloating at the execution of an overspent zealot who had already become a footnote in history, however in doing so he has opened Pandora's box.
God save us from every nutter who will try to exact revenge for this extrajudicial killing.
