David, what you say make a lot of sense to me--for the obvious reasons that 1. the Taliban would hate to have us do it 2. it would strike at the root causes of the hatred people feel against us--the rest of the Arab world would have to notice it, and would have trouble defining us as the enemy. (One thing that the terrorists have used against us has been the fact that our blockade of Iraq kills thousands of children who die of common and treatable ills because they have no medicine.) But will our administration do it? Don't hold your breath-- it is too subtle a type of revenge. > >I think what we should do is provide massive food and medical supplies to >the people of Afghanistan . and if we can get ahold of Soma Bin Laden and >some of his henchmen, well and good, but our first priority should be to >supply food and medical supplies we could also supply building materials, >so that they could build houses.
