seems to me we have a couple of problems: The people of Afghanistan hate us and our economy is going down the dumper...since we have already bombed the buildings into rubble, and the rubble into craters and now we are just making bigger craters, why don't we just take all the billions that we are gonna be spending in the near future, to blow up the country and field a ground force, and buy up all the crap that Americans can't or don't want to buy right now and drop that on the Afghanis' heads...imagine, waves of bicycles, cars, boomboxes, all the food we don't want eat like broccoli, pagers, phones, books and the rest of all that crap. We wouldn't be killing any more people so they couldn't be mad at us and maybe they would take a good hard look at the people that they think are looking after their best interests, i.e. the taliban and bin laden. At the same time we would be helping the economy by buying all the products and services. This will give business the need for workers and they will hire the people back. The stock market will zoom back up and we will all get rich and not have to pay big capital gains taxes...
