Moridin, with all of our might and strenght as a nation, don't you think we could come up with effective solutions better than the old send the military and carpet bomb approach?
If we had a Court of Justice, something along the lines of what Silver Cheetah suggested in another thread (perhaps an international body set up specifically for the purpose, as at Nurembourg after world war ii or more recently to try war crimes in what used to be Yugoslavia), then whatever judgement they decreed against Bin Laden cut be executed by a small elite force trained for the purpose. With patience, Bin Laden's location and movements could be tracked and plans could be put into play for dealing with him.
That would seem far better than rushing off to start an old fashioned war with planes and bombs and the like.

*sigh* This is looking circular. No-one is talking old fashioned war. Also an international council would need to be accepted by individual nations for it to work (Have you heard of the toothless "League of Nations"?
The Taliban do not care about world opinion or world actions as proven by their past behaviour in disregarding the said world opinion.
