Massive conventional bombings, followed by invasion of Afghanistan is my, best guess. At this point, Americans will accept a moderate number of  U.S. troop casualties. This offensive, will make the Gulf War seem like a exercise. The use of nuclear weapons, right or wrong, still present to many political ramifications.

Before one American life is lost from invading whatever country was involved, whatever person or peoples, we need to find out who did this. OInce we find out who did this we park a SSBN out in the nearest ocean, call CNN and have them broadcast the launch of a few SLBM's.
We teach them the meaning of terror.
We wipe them from the face of the earth, leave no surivors. We let everyone in the world know that we are not fucking around and that we will never take anyone's shit again.

Wipe them from the face of the earth, every last man, woman and child.
Let their names only be remembered in the history books.

Of course this will never happen, by next week everyone will be buying the newest Air Bin Laudin Nikes and playing World Trade Center destruction on their GameBoys.

If we use a nuke on Afghanistan, we better be prepared to watch Russia use one on Chechnya.  Russia's newly found support of the US is tied to gaining legitimacy for their campaign against the rebels who Russia labels as "terrorists".  Russia, and possibly China with Tibet and India with Pakistan, might view a US nuclear strike on Afghanistan as a one-time "house cleaning" opportunity.  If the Russians pull the plutonium trigger on the Chechens after we just did the atomic dick-dance on the Afghanis, what is the US going to do?  Nothing.

Just something to think about.

I can live with that commissioner.

But it seems that the real target should be Cairo, and possibly Bagdhad, not Afganistan or even Tehran.

Did you remember how long it took to get the logistics in place for the Gulf War?  This is not a movie, where everything takes place in hours.  It takes lots of planning, and massive move so of men and materials to get everything in the right places.  Those scumbag had better watch out, the earth will be too small; there will not where to run and no where to hide.

Works for me!  These people are a threat to civilization.  KILL THEM ALL.
