Though it's easily possible, and possibly warranted, it's not likely
the U.S. will have to reduce the entirety of Afghanistan to a lifeless
cinder, just to get this guy. There's a civil war going on there
right now, and who ends up with the upper hand is still a question.
As an aside, who do you think is responsible, both directly and
indirectly, for helping to put the Taliban in power? You guessed it!
Our own American Government.
I think the die is cast where Bin Laden is concerned.
The gov is
determined to "get" him, and that's what they'll likely do. I just
hope it's really he who is determined later to have been the one
responsible for this attack, for which he seems to be getting the
blame. If that's the case, no punishment will be severe enough.
The FBI is handling this case. Three words: Wen Ho Lee. Enough said.
I don't think we'll ever really know who did it.
