LAHORE: How very peculiar! Some people seem to be upset with the way the US president ordered the US military to carry out a raid and kill Osama bin Laden. Why were these people not upset when Osama ordered and then gloated over and celebrated the killing of thousands of people?
According to them, the US commandos carried out a ‘criminal mission’. Are we to take it that the bombings of mosques and funeral processions which kill hundreds are very much in keeping with legal norms? How very peculiar.
