Subject: Bomb them with butter, bribe them with hope.

A military response, particularly an attack on Afghanistan, is exactly what the terrorists want. It will strengthen and swell their small but fanatical ranks.

Instead, bomb Afghanistan with butter, with rice, bread, clothing and medicine. It will cost less than conventional arms, poses no threat of US casualties and just might get the populace thinking that maybe the Taliban don't have the answers.
After three years of drought and with starvation looming, let's offer the
Afghani people the vision of a new future. One that includes full stomachs.

Bomb them with information. Video players and cassettes of world leaders,
particularly Islamic leaders, condemning terrorism. Carpet the country with
magazines and newspapers showing the horror of terrorism committed by their
"guest". Blitz them with laptop computers and DVD players filled with a
perspective that is denied them by their government. Saturation bombing with hope will mean that some of it gets through. Send so much that the Taliban can't collect and hide it all.

The Taliban are telling their people to prepare for Jihad. Instead, let's give the Afghani people their first good meal in years. Seeing your family fully fed and the prospect of stability in terms of food and a future is a powerful deterrent to martyrdom. All we ask in return is that they, as a people, agree to enter the civilized world. That includes handing over terrorists in their midst.

In responding to terrorism we need to do something different.
Something unexpected... something that addresses the root of the problem. We need to take away the well of despair, ignorance and brutality from which the Osama bin Laden's of the world water their gardens of terror.

I saw a suggestion somewhere that the Taliban could probably be persudaded to hand over Bin Laden for a tenth of the cost of Clinton's cruise missile strike. Things aren't exactly tip-top in Afganistan at the moment.

And TDC, I just aquired a copy of Short Skirt, Long Jacket by Cake. Fantastic song. I want a girl whos fingernails shine like justice.;)

The US have stumped up a $2.4million reward for whoever hands over Bin Laden. Something tells me that nobody's really rushing to do that, though.

Bloody scary that that guy nearly go onto a plane with a gun the other day.

Even more scary that he took flying lessons in the US - just like all the Sept. 11th hijackers.

Gonna be quite poignant when the 11th comes round again.

I still remember coming back from a meeting at work and a mate telling me to look at the news. Bit of a shocker.

I can still remember seeing it on Yahoo and all the channels having news on it.
