War does not ask the general public's permission to kill an enemy combatant. Would I have liked to see him on trial yes but his death was more than adequate. I'm sure Obama told the Seals if it was possible to take him alive without endangering themselves anymore than necessary do it if not put him down. His death will not be the end of Al Qaeda and conflicts will still continue. But as a decent human being i will not miss him and i think the world is better off without his hate he did not represent true Islam he twisted it to suite his needs.

You're being as presumptuous about the whole situation as those that you complain about.
You know about as much as what really happened as I do.
To clarify my position.. I would like to see him go to trial. But if the oppurtunity wasn't there to take him alive then so be it.
I just think Misa's position that "she's glad that he's dead and doesn't care that he didn't get a trial" is not rationally justifiable.

Pakistan has been embarrassed twice now first by the raid the US was able to slip in and out at ease and the fact that Osama was hiding in plain sight. I would love for us to pull aid we send them until we determine if they knew he was there.

Again you're being presumptuous.
Pakistan actually denies that it knew where he was. Did elements of Pakistan's SIS know? Perhaps... but there is no proof that they knew or no evidence to suggest that they could or should have known.
