BLOG 2 MAY 2011 I hold no torch for Osama Bin Laden. But why do I feel that today is a moment that will haunt us in years to come? Why have I watched the news unfold with such a great sense of foreboding today? First came the news of his killing and then came the news of his body being dumped at sea. I could swear we are living in times of the barbarians. Did no one anywhere consider how offended many would be by this action? Does no-one in the developed world realise that there is a sea of humanity that holds a completely different view of the man? Is the assumption that it is right for them to do whatever they want to do in countries across the world? I cannot believe that Barrack Obama truly believes that killing Osama Bin Laden is making the world a safer place. Today's actions have taken us further along the road towards a more dangerous future.
