Win,

Re:<<Afghanistan is an easy target for retaliation, but Afghanistan is, by all indications, such a miserable place at this point, it's hard to see how anything short of nuclear attack would show up on the screen there.>>

First, thanks for your thoughts. I wanted to make clear that I don't know that Afghanistan was responsible for this atrocity. Indeed, it points up that if the US does retaliate, it needs to be very sure of it's evidence before doing so - in the same sense that a death sentence in legal proceedings in the US require proof beyond a reasonable doubt - lynchings, while emotionally satisfying, make us just as heinous as those who would indiscriminately destroy innocent people in expressing their pathological rage.

One solution would be to crush the Taleban in Afganistan and establish Afganistan as a U.S. territory.
