Unlike Pearl Harbor, however, there is no clear foe. While secret briefings of
members of Congress point to Osama bin Laden as the source of the attacks,
President Bush's Tuesday night address to the nation named no names. The
government, at this writing, actually is not sure. Private sources indicate that the
terrorists could be a splinter group of Osama, its identity and whereabouts as yet
unknown.

An attack on Afghanistan for sheltering Osama's terrorists will put the United States
in danger of being perceived, however incorrectly, as launching a holy war against
Islam. There is strong sentiment in Congress for hitting somebody, somewhere who
has unsavory terrorist credentials even if not connected with Tuesday's attack.

With a crippled CIA unable to target the assassins, the Bush administration seems
headed to deliver the same kind of hammer blows that the Clinton administration
used in the Kosovo war rather than surgical strikes aimed at the assassins.
