I see he has died, and the Internet is swamped with hatred and disgust at the murder and terrorism he instigated. However, it could be said he 'saw the light' and tried during the last years of his life to make amends with his work for peace.

Has anyone else got mixed feelings about this man?
Can one forgive such evil if the perpetrator is truly repentant?
I feel sorrow for his family who, whatever the man was, have lost a loved one. But I have sympathy with the families of the victims of terrorism, who must find it very hard to forgive.

I have to say, I find very distasteful indeed the many remarks online about 'rotting in hell' and 'good riddance' etc. Such spite, in my opinion, does no good at all when trying to heal the scars.
