Tony Blair, the new Churchill?

The monolithic cartel became what we have today; as you know there is more coke than ever in the U.S. and the prices are a fraction of what they were back then.

So what's the problem? More, cheaper, cocaine and the Inquirer sells a few papers on how Escobar gets whacked... looks like a win for everyone but Escobar. :-)

IMO, the solution to al-Queda has to be ruthless and complete. Not just execution of bin Laden, but that of everyone in the organization with any clue of what's going on. The destruction of all those "terrorist training camps" (conveniently located in the desert, away from possible collateral damage). Capture of as much of his cached assets as possible. And the US should take credit for all of this -- no secrets once it's been done, not even non-denial denials. Let anyone out there know that you screw with the US, you cease to exist. Yes, that leaves the sleepers, but without the organization to back them they're just like ordinary criminals.
