Bombing Qaddafi
See: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-13379433

Do you see the irony of the world calling our killing of OBL murder when less than two weeks later they outright bomb Qaddafi's compound?

To be sure, each deserves a nice spot in Hell right next to Hitler, Stallin, Mao and Che, so I have no sympathy here. I only point out that the world is much more two faced than many in the U.S. believe. The world is always quick to criticize the U.S. and never fails to look the other way when they do the same thing or far worse.

Things get hairy when you are at war against an organization vs. when you are at war against a sovereign nation. You are right that both deserve to be taken out, but one action involved going into a country you were not at war with to accomplish the deed while the other is a military action against a belligerent nation.

In agree. However, is there any real difference? Pakistan, and the world for that matter, knew we would go after OBL at nearly any cost. Most countries would have simply turned him over or worked with us to take credit for the capture/killing.
