I am along the same lines. Why can't we send in about 10,000 troops (armed for their protection, but not waging war) and just drag this bastard out? If we meet resistance by anyone, then we would most certainly have to take other measures. No one is condoning what Bin Laden has done or does, so who is to fight us besides his 400 or so alleged followers? He and his followers can be found...by pick and shovel if necessary and brought back here for sentencing.

Can't he?

If we use them, terrorists will surely attempt to use them against us.

That fear inspired logic will be the end of us. Please check out this post:

103 US nuclear reactors are already in their crosshairs. This is just the beginning.

If they get Nukes they WILL use them.

If we use them now than those who sell or aid them in the development of nukes may balk at the potential ramifications.

Not to mention the governments they prefer to hide behind may decide to attempt to block their use to save their own skins.
