One aspect of fighting Bin Laden, that I have not seen mentioned to date, is to limit his money supply. It is true that he already has a vast sum of dollars, but he is acquiring more through drug trafficking for the Taliban (and taking a 15-20% cut). The obvious solution is the legalization of drugs. This would have not only a beneficial effect in terms of local small arms violence, but would also help with international terrorism. The legalization should include all drugs, with similar controls in place for tobacco. These products would be taxed, sales would be restricted to specific city districts, and the use of some of the tax money for rehabilitations, education etc. The FBI agents freed from the drugs trade pursuit, could then also be freed to do more work on our more pressing problems.
