I believe that whatever they do to their own leaders (possibly including Bin Laden) at that point would make the most militant and vengeful American cringe (if only just a little).
2. Smear his body with bacon grease.
3. Introduce him to the bears.
We must have absolutely the most strict and stringent immigration standards in the history of the world but especially for people coming from and people who were born of any country that supports, aids and abets any form of terrorism in any way, shape, manner or form. If I had my first choice, no one from any country that supports, aids or abets terrorism would ever be allowed a visa to the United States.
Any visas from any of the aforementioned countries should be audited and these people should be interviewed, have background checks and should be profiled. Any found to have violated their visa in any way should be immediately deported. Any found to be here illegally should be immediately deported. All of those deportations should be subject to the result of the profiling and background checks.
There may have to be a transition period regarding those we now find here who have been involved in any way, shape, manner or form in these terrorist actions. They should be tried and executed. No other penalty for their actions is acceptable. In the immediate wake of these terrorist acts, I don't believe you'll find ONE OJ jury.
We must first deal with our national security. If we keep these evil people outside of our borders, we can deal with their actions in their own countries leaning on these countries with force to end the terrorist actions originating within their own borders.
How's that for starters?
For example, we dropped millions of single shot "liberator" pistols into occupied europe during ww2. With them you attach a cartoon showing someone using the pistol to dispatch some goon and take his rifle. We could do that. Use propoganda and psyops there. Drop dried and canned food and farming seeds to the millions of peasants there, make sure they know that these come from the generosity of the people of the US. You drop them vitamins, etc. all intermixed with small pamphlets showing our beef is ONLY with bin laden and the taliban extremists who do NOT follow the true teachings of the koran. Show some other cleric or mullah telling the poor people there to rise up and resist the taliban and bin laden. Instead of injecting some thousands of US troops on the ground, we create an internal army of millions to topple the taliban.
There are plenty of folks will advocate extensive usages of nuclear weaponry there, which I think would be a mistake. Yes, we should try and take out the top taliban and other exteremists leadership, but we should also seek to make allies of the oppressed people there and not start a war with one billion moslems, unless that's the goal, to actually start a full scale ww3, and lose middle eastern oil, etc.
This is one alternative. If we do that, and succeed, then we go in and help them set up a representative government that is honest and not corrupt and not extremists. We did it with germany and japan, in japans case, with a culture of differing religions and deifferent ethncity than the majority of US people at the time. it worked perfectly OK in the past, no reason it couldn't work again. We told those people who our beef was with, and hung the (*^%^%ds, but we supported the rank and file peons there, showed them a "better way" to live and have a government.
We "suceeded" before in afghanistan only to fall short and abandon them, similar to how we suceeded in iraq then stopped short of toppling saddam and the republican guards army he had. We got *this close* to fully suceeding that time, we should learn from our mistakes once in awhile, and from our sucesses.
Tony Soprano is a character on the HBO show "The Sopranos", a drama about an Italian family that heads a crime syndicate in New Jersey.
Up until 1996, when the Taliban took over, Afghanistan was becoming increasingly "westernized", particularly the women of the country. I'd be willing to bet that they feel somewhat oppressed these days and might respond well to promises of western-style freedoms.
Once we've psyched them up, so to speak, we airdrop a couple of million WWII Liberator pistols with instructions to free themselves from the shackles of the medieval Taliban.
One of three things should happen:
1. The women shut off all nookie until their men take up the pistols and off the Taliban.
2. The Taliban retaliate against the women, enraging the men who then off the Taliban.
3. The men and women ignore our psyops and keep the pistols to use against us. Seeing as how these are single-shot, 1" barrel .45's, however, they are of limited use against our ground forces who wouldn't allow them to come within 50'.
Let 'em do their own dirty work.
It is much better to be feared than to be loved.
Americans must regain the respect to walk anywhere on the face of the planet, flag flying proudly, without fear.
Like the ancient Romans, no one would dare touch us.
It is past time.
Begin.
Even a little success in this will have very grave (if not horrendous) consequences for the world.
How about a massive offensive, followed by a media blitz of PORKING the terrorist carcasses?
How about dressing pilots and flight attendants in pigskin airline uniforms?
Hey...serving pork ONLY for in-flight meals...
Good God, the possibilities are endless!
These cretins are (soon to be) history...
Get the Army there ASAP, before he runs again!
These super-fighters will die willingly because their belief is that they are rewarded with heaven and virgin delights for dying in a 'holy war'...
...unless...
They are contaminated with the blood of the swine.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the threat is over. Buy Boeing, American Airline, buy 'em all!
Publicly announce that any Islamic terrorist, anywhere in the world, will be buried in pigsh*t should he commit a suicide attack, and the cherised martyrdom is denied.
Finally, something useful for the media to do. Broadcast worldwide day and night.
And thus Rosie O'Donnell, sow, becomes our nation's greatest military threat.
So that's why Rosie's been selected to MC the nationwide benefit! Bush is a genius!
Porkbelly futures are looking up! Everything's coming up Rosie!
My preference would be that, after the twin towers have been rebuilt, bin Laden is taken to the top and nudged over the side. He'll have the whole way down to think about things. Of course, just before he goes over, we should ask him the question Hannibal Lector poses to the Italian Police Inspector:
"So, Mr. bin Laden, what will it be? Bowels in, or bowels out?"
