What amazes me is that so many Americans - and so many posters on SI - seem so eager to give him exactly
what he wants.

But what he gets may not be what he wants at all. It is entirely possible that if we bomb or invade Afghanistan, other Islamic nations may decide they want nothing to do with it. They may decide they will not aid bin Laden and his ilk. The conflagration he seeks may simply fail to materialize.

The Pakistanis have the same reasons as other Islamic nations to refuse to aid us. But they did. It was under pressure and threat, but they agreed.
