<...Bin Laden has demonstrated that the US is one big glass house where people thought it was an armoured citadel. Through a combination of biological, chemical, nuclear, and ebomb weapons the US could be bombed back to the same stone age level Afghanistan is at the moment.

Geez, bin Laden knocked down two buildings in the entire United States, and I am beginning to believe that was his best shot. How about a little perspective? How many A-bombs do you think he has? Two? Five?

If you want to know the honest truth, even a full-scale nuclear war during the height of the Cold War would not have meant the end of civilization, despite the best efforts of the "Better Red Than Dead" crowd to convince us otherwise.

Take it easy. We will beat this guy. The only reason it is taking so long is that we're being careful about casualties. Genocide is easy. A controlled war effort is hard.
