Because Afghans want them there

According to some reports, the Peshawar High Court may take his appeal.

In that event, he gets to explain exactly what happened. It is most likely the case he knew nothing of what he was involved in.

He was doing exactly what Pakistan said they have been doing all along, why turn a blind eye to that? Pakistan claims Osama is an enemy, and that they are vigorously hunting him down. Musharraf went as far as saying he does not exist in Pakistan, blah blah. Dr.Afridi provided the lead; why does it matter who killed him? I thought you guys are allies with the Americans? Don't you allow the US to blow up Pakistanis on a daily basis(think how 10 died today)? Now that Dr.Afridi has given up your cash cow, which means you can't elongate the war for more aid you feel offended? This is hilarious, and I am shocked at the shortsightedness of some around here. I am not arguing if the US or Pakistan are right or wrong here. All I am saying is Pakistan claimed they are fighting terrorism with the US, and how they are partners, which resulted in the US designating the banana republic as a major non-NATO member. If someone kills a so called "enemy" of Pakistan, why jail him? Clearly the ISI knew he existed, which is why he lived in Abbotabad(again, there is now evidence for this, but this is the narrative those who are supporting him being jailed have chosen), a military city. For all we knew, Dr.Afridi probably did not have a clue what he was doing, or even if he did, based on the Pakistani narrative, he should be given a medal of honor. Think about it, and cut off the hypocrisy. It's either you fight terrorism, or harbor terrorism. The fact that he wasn't even permitted to defend himself tells us that Pakistan is once again living up to it's name.

hey!! what about osamas day in court?
was the only proof of his guilt, a video, that could have been fake?

Well of course Faye, they didnt want him to be able to discuss his factual issues he had either with their endeavors in the Muslim world for the whole of America to see. That would have been a disaster and would have highlighted what interventionalism has done.

But thats not how world powers operate.

Look at how Rome dealt with Hannibal and Vercingetorix
Or how the early Colonialists dealt with Metacom
Or how Assetts dealt with Geuvara.
Or how perhaps even Alexander dealt with Darius (even though they say Alexander wept for him and that it was not his order)

This is the cyclical nature of power... one day people will discuss this era in the same fashion and we will all be dust.

God gives power and he takes it away as he pleases.

how does killing a man, who has never even been proven to have committed the crimes he is accused of, equate to honour and dignity?

so you have no hope for humanity to evolve past rome etc.?
i am not intersted in how things were done in centuries past, i am interested in now and the future.
i know about the crimes of the past but to accept pathetic, immoral behaviour, because that is how it has 'always been done' is rather lame.
god this and god that. what about humanity taking some responsibility for itself? i believe there is a reason for things to be occurring but if you just lamely accept things as they are when there is the capacity for improvement, is slothful.
that is like seeing one of your patients with cancer and you say 'oh well, god has chosen for you to have cancer, which has been around for centuries. go home, lay down and wait to die'.
