And I suppose you didn't think the Gilligan's Island episode where the Japanese submarine commander, who didn't get word that WWII was over, took Gilligan and mates captive was funny.
If the US was defying international laws, the UN would be raising a stink.
Why is it any better for the US to kill civilians than it is for bin Laden? The goal. Usama bin Laden wants Americans to die. The US wants to rid the world of organized terrorism. War is violent and innocent people die. While that is unfortunate, it's the nature of the beast.
92% of the US population think that this war on terrorism, starting with going after bin Laden and the Taliban in Afghanistan, is justified. Apparently you don't, and I don't think I can change your mind, as you cannot change my mind.
Hey, the US brought forth what evidence we currently have to the UN, our western allies, and even some countries we're not really too friendly with (Pakistan). They unanimously agree that bin Laden is behind these and previous acts of terrorism against the United States.
A terrorist group is not a government even if they call themselves that. Any type of diplomatic talks or legal hearings would be fruitless.
I've wondered what our response would be if some terrorists belonging to the IRA had committed an act of terrorism on U.S. soil. However, this is a hypothetical situation since it hasn't happened.
What did happened is that thousands of innocent American citizens have died, and the Taliban is harboring and supporting the man suspected of being the brains and money behind the perpetrators. Other governments other than ours (UK and Pakistan, to name two) have seen the evidence we have against bin Laden, and have found them to be sufficient enough to side with the United States in this matter.
It seems to me that you expect the U.S. to deal with a government, run by people who condone and aid groups who use terrorism as a tool to further their political or religious (whatever you want to call it, doesn't matter) agendas, on equal terms. I personally believe the Taliban cannot be dealt with as a legitimate government, making whatever laws they have null and void.
I remember seeing an article in Popular Science magazine about fusion. It was right next to some facts about the city of the future, with flying cars and where everything was shaped like a Gropius accident or automobile fenders from the 50s.
We don't need Buddy Christ now! The angry, vengeful God of the Old Testament is more palatable at this time.

What are you talking about? The flute IS a heavy me'al instrument! At least that's what the full-page ad in Rolling Stone said a month after Jethro Tull won the coveted award.
Wow! Proof positive that early Man's population had its share of evil corporate ladder climbers. This guy was probably just trying to get ahead by working some overtime and getting some name-to-face recognition by his bosses, when Og Suckup comes along and stabs him in the back, claiming to have made the limestone wheel deal himself.
Maybe the inconvenience of getting the latest JVM will push Joe Web Page Designer to refrain from using Java to make their pages do 'cool' (translated: useless) things. As a Java developer I'm happy to see a step toward dumping the browser-bundled JVM -- less work for me because I can code to one standard. It's already hard enough to keep up with the frequent Sun releases, let alone having to support multiple JVMs from various browser vendors. My dev team recently agreed to create only stand-alone apps and stay away from applets where we have to worry about compatability issues.
(A little off-topic, but addresses Katz's premise.) What about the latest kid, Jason Hoffman of El Cajon, CA, to shoot up his school? His classmates described him as a regular kid who didn't get picked on at all. It's not always the bullied who go ballistic.

The photos from the linked article make great desktop wallpaper - good enough for me!
That's just like a youngster to paraphrase a bit of pop culture rather than creating a retort on your own. Mr. Poopy Pants!
He's drunk. What do you expect?
Funklord, astronauts have walked on the moon in MY lifetime! Aren't you a little young to be drinking bourbon? How about a jello shot, son?

I notice this pointless argument is being done by two anonymous cowards. I guess there are both idiots in America and idiots who practice Islam.
Um, Muslims belong to more than one country, idiot.
Why do you feel the need to add the adjective to Jesus' name? It's not really productive or relevant to this discussion.

Is there a closed form to be had from that formula?

The Illuminati myth has been around long before RA Wilson made it a popular one.
