Bin Laden Is Dead, Obama Says
Osama bin Laden, the mastermind of the most devastating attack on American soil in modern times and the most hunted man in the world, was killed in a firefight with United States forces in Pakistan on Sunday, President Obama announced.
In a dramatic late-night appearance in the East Room of the White House, Mr. Obama declared that “justice has been done” as he disclosed that American military and C.I.A. operatives had finally cornered Bin Laden, the Al Qaeda leader who had eluded them for nearly a decade. go to story

We speak of terrorism from the Islam world, but more terrifying than all the terrorists combined is the terror of old age, disease, and unavoidable and inevitable DEATH awaiting every living being, be he Arab, American, black, white, man, woman, rich or poor. The whole world is being kept in terror by demonic politicians, scientists and educators who insist on perpetuating the myth of the bodily concept of life, instead of teaching people the science of life. more
Who deserves to be killed?
excerpt from lecture on Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.15.24, Los Angeles, December 3, 1973
The Bible says, "Thou shalt not kill," and they are simply engaged in killing business, and still they want to be happy. Just see the fun. Therefore Krishna says, "Yes, you be killed by occasional world war. You must be killed. You have created this situation. You must be killed. You may be American or Englishman or German or this or that. You may be very proud of your nationality. But you must be killed." This is the position. Ishvarasya vicheshtitam. "You have killed so many animals. Now wholesale killing, one bomb. One atom bomb. Be killed."
So these rascals they do not know how things are going on. Ishvarasya vicheshtitam. "Tit for tat." There must be. If in ordinary laws, in the state laws, that if you have killed somebody you must be hanged, so do you think you can simply bluff the Supreme Authority, Krishna, that you are going, killing, killing, killing, and you will be saved? No. You will be killed in pestilence, in famine. Even within your mother's womb, you will be killed, where it is supposed to be good protection, there also you will be killed. The human nation being degenerated in such a way, the killing business is increasing daily, daily, daily. Ishvarasya vicheshtitam.
So we therefore must submit to Krishna. Sarva-dharman parityajya... [Bhagavad-gita 18.66]. Because we cannot become free. We cannot go out of the laws of God. That is not possible. Therefore we must surrender that "Krishna, God, I have acted freely so many births. I did not become happy. Neither I am happy at the present moment. So now I surrender unto You. You say that 'I give you protection.' So kindly give me protection." This is Krishna consciousness movement.
