As I said, I don't know that many details about this guy. I'm assuming that he was big enough of a deal that the President was willing to drop bombs in another country that we aren't warring with to get this guy. I'm assuming this guy is a bad mama-jama
This guy didn't just give aide and comfort to the enemy by taking some nice pictures and hugging a tank. He became the enemy and started driving the tank.
Now if this guy surrendered to the US or just happend to somehow get captured then yes, he deserves his trial and to be executed if convicted. Since he didn't, he deserved the bombing he got.
I think President Obama did the right thing.
