Can I? Nope. Not me. I'm scared of heights. But I think you've made another good point for the argument that the best way to subdue potential or would-be terrorists is to marry them off. And maybe slip their wives a few credit cards <w>.

"America needs a strong willed friend as leader of the new Afghanistan government who can continue with the never ending task of identifying and eliminating enemies of America" Whats the guarantee that he wont follow in the footsteps of OBL and bomb one of our hi-rises? There would be no guarantee but I think any new leader's self interest would argue against it. There's no guarantee that you won't commit a terrorist attack. Simple guarantee. US is not financing me nor is she training, supporting or sponsoring me! 1 - The US did not sponsor Osama or Al-Qaeda, or even the Taliban, unless you count US humanitarian aid as a sponsership of the current government in the country were the aid is distributed. 2 - A lack of support from the US government is hardly a guarantee that someone will not become a terrorist. Most terrorists do not recieve support from the US government. Tim
