In the reality of law this was not an act of war altho' I don't know what else to call it. This was civilians attacking civilians. There are no armies with symbols on the wings of bombers. They are covert little cadres of terrorists attacking from hiding.

My mind is to attack Afghanistan and with fuel-air bombs carpet the area until it melts into glass. But we would create an army of martyrs that we could never defeat. I feel that if we just killed Bin Laddin we would do the same.

Thats why I am in favor of trial under his own laws. Is it possible or just wishfdul thinking? Probably just wishful thinking. But we must act and we must be decisive and surgical and complete. But we must not be wrong.
