John Waters Today On Osama

flyswatter · 07-05-2011 12:53AM #1

Did I see today on the front cover that he said something like "Osama being killed won't solve anything?"

Eh, it will you knob!

Won't stop terrorism fully but the world is a safer place no doubt.

Guy is too liberal for his own good.

Did anyone read the article?

How's the world a safer place - the stupidity of the human race scares me more than terrorism

Safer.

And yeah about the stupidity thing:

Two words. Fox News.

Also anyone think his songwriting skills are up to much?

TowerIRL · 07-05-2011 12:59AM

But what about Al-queada saying that America has put a curse on themselves by killing their leader and that they will seek revenge?
They may have taken down the leader but you can be sure there's another brain-washed turban head only dying to take his place, power and everything he was!

Liberal? John Waters?:rolleyes: He's about as liberal as Norman Tebbit or the Pope. Reactionary, grouchy old dinosaur would be a more apt description of Waters - he might have been liberal back in 1974 but he hasn't moved on since.:pac:

John Watters is an eejit. Osama's passing has not solved the world's problems but it has made the world just a tiny bit better, but better nonetheless.

Why were they asking the director of Hairspray about Osama Bin Laden?

The guy is no a martyr to his supporters and will do everything in their power to avenge him(i presume)

While he is a dirty bstard, I dont see how his death has actually improved the world.

Unfortunately there was never going to be a truely satisfying outcome to the hunt for Osama and I dont think anyone knows what the best course of action was, but go ahead and blame those smelly tree hugging Liberals for thinking terrorism is not the answer to terrorism

Paparazzo · 07-05-2011 01:04AM

John "last place in the eurovision" waters. A Kevin myres wannabe, which is possibly the most pathetic thing in the world.
Why do people care about his opinion? I'd value Billie Pipers opinion on the bin laden killing more. Seriously!

Fago! · 07-05-2011 01:05AM

I misread that as "Obama being killed won't solve anything" then you saying "ehh of course it will, Won't stop terrorism fully but the world is a safer place no doubt" I was thinking "Jesus, this guys a racist bastard!"

Front cover of what?

johngalway · 07-05-2011 01:15AM

Reckon a lot of people lamenting the passing of good ould Osama should sod off and live openly in such nice areas as Khandahar, or Peshawar for a year or two. See how liberal they are coming home with their head in a sack beside them :rolleyes:

Is the world a safer place??

I think it's more likely now of an al'qaeda attack then it was two weeks ago!

Dudess · 07-05-2011 01:19AM

Yeah, the world's a safer place "no doubt"? News to me...

Osama has played this card very well.

If George Bush had ordered Bin Laden's execution, there would have been uproar about it, but as it was done by Obama, there seems to be a consensus that he "did the right thing" & he's a "good guy".

It's the whole political scenario of - if you're country is not behind you, then go to war & drum up a national sense of togetherness that has worked so well throughout the ages. The "us against them" mentality that seems to unite people during "war times".

Obama has been seen as pretty much a failure up till now by most Americans. The last thing he could have done however, was go to war as there is no appetite for it in the US. But this killing, was a masterstroke. The country is right behind him again & he's even making speeches about how he's now "speaking for the world when I say - a job, well done".

Well, it was - as a political piece of manouvering - a job extremely well done.

It just saddens me to see yet another world leader - especially after the Afghanistan invasion - having a total & utter disregard for any form of protocol for international law & human rights.

I'm not surprised, not even shocked, just dissapointed.

I'm also not shocked by Obama's actions! What most people don't understand is that Obama is responsible for more deaths than bin laden is. But because he's commander in chief and didn't get his fingers dirty himself, people don't hold him to account!

Funny all this attention on the killing of Bin Laden.

A US predator drone killed up to 17 people in Pakistan today and theres hardly been a word about it.

Send us a postcard then

Before you go, re-do your Google search using the terms "Peshawar taliban" and Peshawar Al qaeda", but "Peshawar bomb blast pictures" is a particularly good one, for the local sights in flames...

Are you taking the piss mate?

Obama is the best American president in years. Better than Clinton who people still remember fondly.

So Obama is responsible for more deaths than Osama, who was a religious jihadist nut and was the main man behind countless terrorist attacks?

:eek:

Read that John Waters piece today. Thought it was good. Didn't agree with all of it, but thought it displayed a degree of nuance and thought that very few in the mainstream media have approached this subject with and is actually rare for Waters these days. I think he has an impressive intellect and is a very good writer but he tends to let emotionalism/ an instinctive rejection of the very idea of rationality cloud much of what he writes these days. This was somewhat of an exception.

Edit: he dismissed the idea of there being a rational explanation for what is happening but he did so in a rational way.

It's a huge blow to terrorism in the middle east.

There will be retaliations for sure.

I think though that you misunderstand the strength of counter-terrorism these days.

It's very strong in America and developed countries like Germany who just foiled an attempt to blow up the Eurovision!

:eek:

As long as Obama continues america's disgusting foreign policy in policing the world, he has to be held accountable for every death caused by US troops in the countries they occupy! Also, he should be held responsible for every bullet that comes from a weapon america sells to oppressive regimes in the middle east!
