So that justice is served. More pragmatically, in the current political situation of Iraq I have to believe that it would have beneficial to find him guilty of not just crimes against the Shia but also against Kurds and against Sunnis. US/ Iraq history is <a href="http://www.juancole.com/2006/12/for-whom-bell-tolls-top-ten-ways-us.html" rel="nofollow">much more complicated</a> than your description. In any case, yours is a meager rebuttal: Osama was also an ally due to our opposition to another power- and it has been proved to be an incredibly short sighted alliance. So, yeah, I'm willing to criticize US foreign policy when it runs counter to our own principles- aren't you? Why? So that justice is served.

He can only be executed once. Just admit that you didn't want him executed. You're not fooling anyone. And he was not an ally of the US except in that the Iranians were, and still are, our enemy and Iraq and the Iranians were at war. Come on! You can think of better cheap shots at your own country than that! Why is it necessary to convict him of more crimes but to extend his life? He can only be executed once.

It's my understanding though that he <em>inconveniently</em> committed his worst atrocities while still an ally of the United States. Therefore the deaths of the 150 must stand in for the remaining hundreds of thousands he killed.
