So What Happens...? before/after
If the casualty toll rises into the thousands, I imagine the retaliatory action will have to be immense.
Given the PR ramifactions of appearing to not take enough effective action, and the fact that we have a Republican Texan president, I would expect nothing less, given less of a rationale.
I wish we had a better president. One like FDR or JFK, who could weild this unspeakable tragedy into an active coalition that would take steps to eliminate all terrorism.
This would necessitate an occupation of areas like Israel and certain other trouble spots, and could conceivably result in a great loss of life. Given that it would be most of the world vs rogue states, trouble spots, and a good part of the middle east, I think that with the right leadership, we all could forge a safer world out of the ashes of conflict.
I know we have stratregic scenarios already planned and logistics figured for invasions and various military actions all over the world, especially places like Afghanistan.
So what happens when we inevitably ask the Taliban to hand over Osama Bin Laden, and they refuse?
