Only Binladdin?
Seems to me this ought to lead to a world-wide effort to destroy terrorist training camps and punish those who willingly suffer their presence and solicit funds for them.
Not just Binladdin. Not just Islamic anti-American terrorists. All terrorists.
Here in Canada, the FLQ lost its support in Quebec when two terrorist cells each deliberately murdered a kidnap victim. They had gone too far. Let us hope that enormity of this crime turns the tide of Arabic public opinion against terrorism.
In the United States, Irish bars were (are still are?) able to get away with collecting money for the IRA. Rich people were allowed to send money to the Contras in Central America. In Canada, we let Tamil refugees into the country, some of whom extort/cajole money from other Tamils, money that goes to support an ongoing conflict in Sri Lanka. We probably let some or all of the World Trade Center bombers into Canada, from whence they traveled through Maine to Boston. I believe a lot more can be done to fight terrorism, with only minor curtailment of our liberties. We can't make the world completely safe, but we can do a lot better.
Terrorism, not just Binladdin, has got to be fought.
