Is your point the only reason most of the world supports the actions in Afghanistan because they "fear" Bush? There are those who attack America that should not fear Bush, but US. He's the leader of the nation, but to imply he runs it with an iron hand to serve his own end isn't realistic.
There is nothing wrong with Bin Laden being tried in Berlin, or even Amsterdam, as long as it's an international trial. I don't want him tried in the US.
Ronn, I could respond with an analogy to recent history that would upset MANY just to prove my point... so, rather than starting a big war of words, I'll just say that you're right, he doesn't rule with an iron hand... I'm just saying the guy is like a black hole wether you want to get close or get away, you'll eventually be sucked in and be destroyed! One thing I can say for Bush Jr is that he was intelligent enough to surround himself with intelligent advisors!
Personnally, I don't think that Bin Ladden should be brought to trial. Regardless of where he is tried (USA/Europe/International Court or Muslim court), the trial will not be impartial! A trial is truly the worst thing that we could do to ourself in this mess that we've created!
I said before that we should just send in special forces to assassinate him that would have been a much smarter course of action and much more effective than what we've been doing so far! But let's let the public to their delusions of effectiveness!
