First thing the world needs to do is rid Afghanistan of the Taliban & Bin Laden...it is a nest of terrorist and a safe haven for them , and they bring nothing but terror daily throughout that part of the world and poison young minds , and are Barbarians , period . Simultaneously , we need to draw attention to all forms of arms dealing and proliferation throughout the world . Track down all arms dealing and try to suppress it and penalize anyone caught supplying terrorist . Does Pakistan need nuclear weapons ? No , and we should take them away . Some day something even alot greater in destruction is going to be unleashed somewhere ....who are we kidding ? Also , with all due respect for the Koran and Islam , we should not be encouraging the ongoing ruling royals of Saudi Arabia , and other forms of antiquated rule . King Faisal is demented , and the Saudi Royals are a joke. Democracy and Jeffersonian ideals are what should be encouraged and helped to take hold in all countries and nations throughout the Islamic world . We can train here , a counter group of Afghanis and support them and build a coalition around them , and later install them there once the Taliban Thugs have been taken out . Just our form of counterpoise to what they are doing , but we do it for the just cause of democracy. The promis of democracy is our finest weapon , it will be the final solution as well. Extremist Fundamentalist Muslims are not representative of 90% of the rest of the Islamic world , and with much work and encouragement , we can help restablishing eventually some form of economy and living for these destroyed people is key. Looking towards heaven for salvation and the belief in God never solved one earthly problem ...people love God but they also love the land and the earth , and I think God wishes it so too. Every Mullah & Saudi Royal in Islam should memorize this :Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because,if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear. --- Thomas Jefferson 1743
