Yes, I was quite disgusted when IDF fired those missiles. No argument here.

On the other hand, suppose Al Quaeda announces a "cease-fire" tomorrow, and we have a nice conference with Egypt and Saudi Arabia to confirm the fact. Should we refrain from striking bin Laden if his location becomes known?

Morally, we should. But in reality, I just don't see it happening.

At the end of WW-II, the Japanese Emperor, not exactly a bystander, was left in place. That saved a lot of lives on both sides. There's no question it's very difficult to do.
