If the man resisted the use of force to apprehend him that just happened to result in his death whilst that arrest was occurring is just collateral damage. Tough luck in my opinion.
If however he offered no real resistance, and they killed him anyway, then we have lost something our fathers and grandfathers fought for. Our fathers were faced with the same situation at the end of WWII, but by the dint of perserverance, all the difficulties and frustrations of the international system of justice were overcome, and the chief nazi perpetrators and culprits were brought to justice. That was probably the most important outcome of WWII, the realization that we could no longer exist as separate sovereign states, to a degree we had to learn to mete justice out at an international level, at least for certain crimes. some crimes transcend national borders, both legally and morally. That was precisely the argument that George Bush put when he appealed for help in Iraq and other places. And he was right. We are all confronted with terrorism as a problem. There were many countries who suffered losses from the Septmber 11 attacks not just the US. There should have been a universal effort to eradicate the problem, sad truth is, only some countries responded to the call. However, to try and claim sole US jurisdiction to an international criminal, and to apply US justice at the exclusion of all the other contributory nations, when those nations were asked to provide assistance to the US to capture this ferret, and then deny our justifiable calls for justice for our fallen countrymen, is to treat us with extreme disregard. What justice is there for Australians who have fallen, if the US is going to exclude us from the processes of international law to deal with this character. If the ICC had been reconfigured to deal with this clown retrospectively, and he had been handed over to the ICC, ther would have been symbolic justice for all, and Bin Laden could not continue to be used as the pin up martyr boy for the jihadist nutters out there.
