All this talk about how killing OBL would only make him a martyr and he should have been taken alive and given a trial (as though that would prevent him from becoming a martyr anyway) reminded me of how Mussolini was executed by Italian anti-fascist partisans rather than given a trial like the defeated Nazis (who survived) got.

If martyrdom is that automatic, why wasn't there a postwar fascist insurgency driven by the memory of the martyred Mussolini for years after the war and how could there have been one?
