Bin Laden has always had the same grievances for years and we just blew it off. You have to read between the lines and really anlayze what he is saying.

Do you believe that we should have listened to them and talked with him, and maybe altered policies?

Absolutely not! I believe that we should annihilate them all with no mercy. I believe we are underestimating what we are up against. These guys are not just pockets of terrorists. Bin Laden is inspiring a world wide Islamic insurgency or "defensive jihad" against the United States. Our current tactics of sending out a posse to catch one or two or kill one or two of them at a time is not working. We need a coordinated effort to eradicate all of the insurgent groups no matter where they are (including the US) in a manner that breaks their will to continue. We have to get nasty and make sure that every second of their dreadful existence is as painful as possible. They are mocking us now because they know we have a high moral standard, abide by international laws, and fear the CNN factor, and have an illogical need to appear as the good guys to appease the Europeans. We need to get past this and unleash the hounds of hell on them. They need to be the ones who fear attacks, not us.
