'Mint, such a condensed article wouldn't be sufficient to describe what I feel are all the evils he committed in life. You just have to go to the various quotes he made. Don't get me wrong, I am saddened by his death, just as I would've been by Hitler's or any other man I perceive to have done evil. The sadness comes from the understanding that here was a human being that tried to do what they felt was good (and this applies to Hitler and Bin Laden as well), but in the process got consumed by their anger, to the point where that all that remained was this evil person, perhaps cocooning a small essence of his good persona. It's just the tragedy of a life begun with much promise (as we all do when we were born) ending up in such a sad manner.
