So...WHY are they declaring war on us? I think this is important. I think this represents (in a way) bin Laudin's ultimate goal - he wanted to attack the US...and for us to knee jerk back and slam Afganistan. If we had done that...according to some, muslim countries would've come together in a war against us. And that may have been bin Laudin's ultimate goal - to unite the Islamic countries under him. If so...Bush's tactics are REALLY working against him. Getting Pakinstan to agree (demand) bin Laudin be turned over really alienates bin Laudin. The only pressure he can place now is on the Taliban.
