Now lemme get this straight; we should kill bin Laden, regardless of whether he is guilty of this attack or not, because he is a SYMBOL of something?

Whaaat?

Killing bin Laden, bombing Afghanistan, burning the Persian Gulf...none of this will stop terrorism.

Not in the short term, certainly not in the long term.

The human race is sick and we can't just keep slapping bandaids on ourselves and swallowing painkillers. The ILLNESS goes way deeper than the SYMPTOMS. We have been given an opportunity to heal humankind from this malaise.

Will we do it?
