[QUOTE="H D, post: 962322, member: 68494"] This is what I have been getting at. This is also why I find the Vatican's response so fitting. It gets to the main sentiment I have concerning the matter. Again, so scrolling isn't necessary: "In front of the death of man, a Christian never rejoices but rather reflects on the grave responsibility of each one in front of God and men, and hopes and commits himself so that every moment not be an occasion for hatred to grow but for peace." If seeing the photos somehow helps someone to reflect on the responsibility for the death of bin Laden and provides an occasion for increased peace rather than a perpetuation of hatred, then search out the photos. They won't remain secret forever. I just think there is hatred behind the majority of people's desire to see him dead and as bin Laden represents an idea to Americans more than he does an actual human, I think the hatred for the idea is being transferred to the hatred of a man. Be careful of this because I think to hate men rather than their acts is more "sanctimonious and holier than thou" than anything I have proposed. [/QUOTE]
