I've been busy and haven't had a chance to read the last few pages of the Osama is dead thread but I have a question for those who think the US government is lying and that Osama isn't actually dead.

How do you know he was alive to begin with?

How do you know that he wasn't a fictional character fabricated by the government to focus your hatred on while everything else was carried out exactly as you believe happened?

This would mean that they didn't actually have to kill him (as he never actually existed) and no matter what fabrications the US comes up with you won't believe because they aren't true as this 7 foot tall, Muslim man with the Santa Claus beard didn't actually exist.

Just curious, I don't mean to poke the fire, but I don't understand how a group of people won't believe anything the government tells them EXCEPT that Osama actually exists. Wouldn't the ultimate conspiracy be that he's fictional?
