Wow, my first thought was, this is a no duh moment....
Osama declared war on the US, directing groups of soldiers in attacks against our nation. He is a valid military target. That being said, it appears more and more as if the Osama mission was basically an assassination. That guy wasn't going to be captured, they went there to do one thing and they did it.
A cool part: That helicopter they burned... It was one of the new Stealth Blackhawks. Very cool. They released that info a bit ago. I heard about these things, you can't hear them until they are right on you, and radar has a hard time with them. Very, very cool stuff.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
- -- Aristotle
