I agree. We probably need to go in to Afghanistan and take out the Taliban or we will just be in for lots more trouble, later. If they give us Bin Laden, what excuse do we have to do that? We're just stuck with Bin Laden and having to try him or something, and how can we enter Afghanistan to eliminate the Taliban if they have just done what we asked? Our "allies" would go nuts if we went in, anyway. I am sure there are contingency plans being made to deal with this possibility, but it looks pretty dicey to me.

Strap him into a drone aircraft. Play some really bad 70s rock. Jefferson Starship, for example. Then aim the thing at the shrine of our choice. It doesn't even have to be a real shrine, since it would be lowering ourselves to destroy anyone's shrine. But we do have Hollywood, computer graphics, holographs, etc. A sensor could be placed in the seat to detect the sudden discharge of urine or feces.

Taliban? Afghanistan?

Try this on for size: Iraq and our ol' buddy Saddam; Libya; Sudan; Algeria; perhaps Syria and Iran, too. And this list could be expanded.

I HOPE AND PRAY that our national leadership has more vision and understanding of the true size of this conflict than the average FReeper apparently does. If YOU PEOPLE don't get it, how can the American people hope to get it?
