And then she said when you kill one, another appears, which seems to be the general theory that if we just blow up some of Afghanistan, and kill Osama, then the next highest order official in the Taliban regime would step in and take Osama's place. I mean, I've always realized that would happen ever since the Afghan people began saying it, but the parallel between that and the racoons just clarified it on a new, unique level for me. See what I'm saying now?

Ok....I understand what your saying, but I just look at it a little differently. Granted, if Bin Laden is taken out, another could take his place, but that might not be easy. Bin Laden holds the place he does because of the money he has. Take away the money, take away the leader, take away the power, the morale of the followers dies. Yes, they could regain themselves with a new leader, but it might take some time.
I look at it like this, they keep showing Bin Laden on almost every news channel you watch, being quoted with saying things such as, "the Americans will experience things worse than the WTT bombings," and things similar. Now, this scares the shit out of me, and it kind of puts our country in gridlock. What do we do? Leave Bin Laden be and risk being attacked like that again? Which I would be willing to be he will try. Or, do we take him and his followers out and risk a new regime taking his place? It's a double edged sword...
