Justice involves confronting somebody with his crimes, opening old wounds maybe, but also making it finally possible to heal them, because real justice leaves no open questions, no further dangers and no hatred. Justice has no emotions, doesn't care who you are.
Revenge instead is served cold.
Yeah... I am seeing his death, more as a missed oppurtunity, than victory.
You don't go around proving your worst enemies wrong by killing them. You go around proving your worst enemies wrong by bringing them to justice. Justice is inexorably better than killing people like this, because it is the exact opposite of what makes them such bad forces of humanity.
But: The objective was to capture Osama alive. Either he defended himself and had to be neutralised as an immediate threat, or he killed himself, in a manner which unfortunately could not be prevented.
In that case, the fact that Osama is not in a US detention facility would not be the fault of Obama, or the SEALs sent to capture him, but would rather be the fault of Osama himself.
