L.H., I just think you are making something more complicated than it is. Our capitalistic barons who thirst for oil and suffer the scorn of many here on the Mudcat did not motivate Osoma Bin Laden to send the airliners into the WTC, the Pentagon or the landscape in Pennsylsania. We did not start this war; the terrorists did. They did it because they want to take over the world, not just the U. S. They are religious zealots who have no tolerance for any religion other than their own, as they interpret it.

I have no argument with you about the Taliban. We weren't after the Taliban for anything other than that they harbored the terrorists.

Frank: I respectfully disagree with you in regard to trying bin Laden in U. S. courts. The reasons are reported and reiterated on numerous television shows and newspapers multple times each day. A military tribunal for Mr. bin Laden, I say.
