Abstract: On May 2, 2011 the U.S. Government did not even consider the pretence of due process and a fair trial according to the rule of law. Instead, its military planned and executed the premeditated murder of Osama bin Laden (who, among other things, masterminded the killing of approximately 3,000 people on September 11, 2001). But is bin Laden’s death really a time to rejoice? Or is it instead a time to reflect and ask that others forgive our sins against them and that we forgive others’ sins against us? The unspeakable truth is that the ‘War on Terror’ is a war of terror waged upon innocent civilians in impoverished lands – lands which have been impoverished not least by relentless Western meddling. Moreover, the War on Terror is one of America’s most comprehensive diplomatic, economic and military defeats, one which the U.S. Government has inflicted upon its own subjects.
