  1. Bin Laden, "which caused so much harm to humanity ', was the victim of violence itself. But is the crime he committed, highly condemnable, justifies the installation of a macabre spectacle televised for the White House. This western culture that transforms human relations in a contest between good guys and bad guys, in the death of the villain is cause for applause and joy and the good guy that the killer made ​​a hero, does nothing to reduce violence in the world
