Being that I live in the NYC area and was in Manhattan on 9/11/2001, I think that a better revenge than following the Taliban through caves would be to begin severing our oil umbilical cord. All of those countries complain about us all the time, but their upper echelon is filthy rich off of the money we pay them for their black gold. Let's see how they like it when we don't even need them for that anymore! Although it won't stop them from hating us any more... probably just use the new focus as a way to stir up even more hate over there (if that's even possible).
