Hmmm... and in the USA we just issued a statement
to Afghanistan that they cannot separate themselves
from the consequences of their actions (i.e. harboring
alleged terrorist Osama bin Laden)

NOTICE that I used the word... "alleged" to indicate that
although he has been accused of DREADFUL IMMORAL
ACTS... there has been no formal proof offered to date.

I guess by that logic I would hold those who "passively"
assist terrorism to be not responsible for the acts of the
terrorists themselves (the conclusion that Scott offered...)

So I'll kind of go along... if anyone wishes to address
questions to me (offlist) involving terrorist diy I'll help
them... but I will not answer those technical questions
onlist.  My little effort to help the "war effort" so to speak
;^P

BTW I hope the USA will find the Afghani people similarly
not responsible for merely allowing Osama bin Laden to
operate in their rack...er....state.
