Answer: you can't, you just have to wait for the explosion or the box cutter.
"The worst mistake we could make is to underestimate him and the vastness of his terrorist cabal, which includes many of our so-called allies in this war."
This simply illustrates an important point about the cowardly nature of the Jihadists: the Pakistanis (and the other nations that have sponsored terror in the past but now claim to abhor it) do so only now because they know we are pissed off and serious about kicking butt, and they don't want theirs to be kicked in this process.
They will sacrifice one of their own (Bin Laden) for the time being if it means they can lull the "Great Satan" back to sleep (once our sense of justice is satisfied) only to pick up their strategy of terror where they left off.
And in the meantime, the Saudis continue to play on both sides, saying they support us in this "new war on terror" by providing bases, while they bankroll schools in Afghanistan and Pakistan that turn out these terrorists (a clearer definition of state-sponsorship I have yet to read)!
They are all too afraid of what we could do to them if they openly proclaimed their hatred for us, so they sneak around pretending to be our friends while trying to find ways to stick the knife in our backs. The Japanese were far more honorable as our enemies than these Islamic cowards are.
I would like to think that what has happened to us will keep us even more vigilant, but I sense that the calls for a "return to normalcy" in this country are nothing more than an invitation to go back to sleep. Let's hope - at least - that this "dragon" sleeps with one eye open and always on the Islamic sponsors of terror.
If nothing else, let's increase our support of Israel, the only true friend in the area we have.
