Fox news have reported that only one person in Osama's compound had a firearm.
I think I agree with the Dalai Lama: "Forgiveness doesn't mean forget what happened. If something is serious and it is necessary to take counter-measures, you have to take counter-measures."
But I do think that if it was the case that Osama was unarmed, as were the majority of the people in the compound (13 of whom were children), I think that the American forces have misconstrued the meaning of justice with revenge. And that these actions, whilst bringing joy and closure to many countries around the world, can also damage relations and cause anger and hatred towards America in others.
"Whatever actions may have been attributed to bin Laden, the assassination of an unarmed human being surrounded by his family constitutes an abhorrent act. Assassinating him and sending him to the depths of the sea shows fear and insecurity, (and) turns him into a much more dangerous figure" - Fidel Castro
