We can't go in and 'raze' Afghanistan because that doesn't solve the problem. However, the polite discussions with the Taliban have to end. There is no more negotiation about harboring Bin Laden and anybody else we can find out about, including possibly Taliban government officials themselves (who unfortunately got a lot of training, money and weapons from the U.S. when they were fighting the Soviet Union). They give him up, or we take him. We direct our intelligence organizations to locate him and his inner circle, and then just say to whoever his hiding him, "Sorry, but this isn't open to negotiation." You can't keep new ones from coming up, but you can make sure you get the ones who planned this operation. --QS

<<It does seem like something of this magnitude ought to be capable of detection.>> (1) Keep them (a) off the planes, (b) out of the cockpits. (2) We might have realized that if relative untalented types could accomplish an Oklahoma City, then what might be the consequences if dedicated folks got involved. We have known for a long time that security at commercial airports is a problem. Now, unfortunately, we have become aware of the consequences. Much like at Pearl Harbor, we have been surprised when we ought not to have been surprised. Ken Wilson
