Seven Thoughts on the Assassination of Bin Laden

Doug Wilson makes 7 interesting points about Bin Laden's death, one is semi quoted below: Seven Thoughts on the Assassination of Bin Laden:
all of us who weigh in with our opinions about this, from Chomsky to Sheryl Crowe, should be prepared to answer and fundamental question about this. The question is, 'By what standard?' What laws, whether of men, gods, or God, govern this kind of thing? Without an answer to this question, all opinions are just aimless yelling and gesticulating at the scene after the men of action have come and gone. One of the bummers related to the triumph of secular thought is the realization that you cannot banish transcendent standards and still have them around. This is a drag because there are times when they would be handy, like now.
