You stated: "the taliban will not exist" Let's say that occurs for the sake of discussion. That does not solve the problem of terrorists and the billion dollar reward. You lost me here.

"Senior administration officials have singled out the ruling Taliban for harboring the terrorist camps used by Osama bin Laden and his network. Both the Taliban itself and the bin Laden forces are likely to be targets of eventual American military action, and there is strong political support in Washington for such a move. But the officials and some analysts warn that if Afghanistan is decapitated, Mr. Bush may have to confront the war-induced miseries of 26 million Afghans and a flood of refugees. That, in turn, poses the broader danger of inviting powerful neighbors like Iran, Russia, China and Pakistan to defend their interests by moving into the vacuum, these people say. Andrei Kozyrev, the former Russian foreign minister who negotiated with Afghanistan's Islamic militants in the early 1990's, warned in an interview that the United States could cause violence to spread to Central Asia if the military campaign was not accompanied by diplomacy and reconstruction aid.
