Americans cannot be allowed think they can just do as they please

Osama bin Laden’s “demise should be welcomed by all who believe in peace with human dignity,” President Obama stressed on Sunday night.

“On nights like this one, we can say to those families who have lost loved ones to al-Qaida’s terror: Justice has been done.”

Nowhere in the US Constitution does it give the President the right to act as judge, jury and executioner. The American forces sent in to get Osama bin Laden went in to kill him, not to take him prisoner and bring him before any court of justice, if possible.
