Spare me. That interview was pathetic. The kid is 18. The interview does nothing to raise doubt. What's he going to do, say "Oh, yeah, my Dad ran the whole show?"

Nobody who has seen the evidence has disputed the conclusion. That includes a scrutload of Congresscritters and foreign heads of state. Somehow I trust Tony Blair more than binLaden's kid.

No, it means they support terrorists.

There's nothing to negotiate, nor any reason to compromise. A negotiation that opens with the death of six thousand civilians isn't a negotiation, it's war.

The ones in Afghanistan have suddenly a discussion item now that practically everyone I talk to is in favor of bombing their country.

Grow up. The Taliban sponsors bombing *our* country. Repeatedly.
These scum are already under indictment for the last couple of times they did it.

Yeah, I have a much better idea. How about we stop killing civilians in the name of stopping terrorism? It doesn't take a genius to realize that the U.S. is commiting terrorist acts of it's own.

You seriously need to look up the definition of terrorism. It shouldn't take a genius to understand why it doesn't apply.

And it's real hard to have any respect for a country that kills civilians in an anti-terrorist military campaign.

*Any* military action is going to kill civilians, especially when the combatants make a point of hiding in a civilian population deliberately in order to cause civilian casualties and then pump them for propiganda value, in the hopes that folks like yourself will call for us to slack off on them. It's reprehensible.
