Her last name is Sukarnoputri. I'm not sure how Indonesians refer to themselves though. I know that many of them still only have one name.

Taking down bin Laden is not sufficient. It is a distributed operation - not central controlled.

I'm aware of that. But I would wager that many, if not most, of his top associates are not in Afghanistan at this point; hence we are seeing arrests in places like Germany and Spain, and will probably see more. What roles those arrested play in al-Qaeda remains to be seen. If the US does invade Afghanistan and can pluck associates of bin Laden and/or other unrelated terrorists, that would certainly be good.
The point I was making is this: I hope that this entire situation can be resolved with as little fighting as possible, and in the quickest possible manner.
