America also is condemned by Bin laden for its support of Israel, which he regards as the "arrowhead in the heart of the Islamic world," which must be rooted out and destroyed. .

Needless to say, either course of action to be taken by the United States needed to fire a message to Bin Laden, al-Qaeda, and the rest of the terrorist community that terrorism absolutely and under no circumstances would be tolerated by the United States. The message had to be clear and on Thursday, September 20, 2001, President Bush delivered it: We will pursue you, if you're a terrorist and/or "provide aid or safe haven to terrorism. Every nation in every region now has a decision to make: Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists." .

President Bush had to first weigh the costs of a possible military intervention. On one hand, he had at his disposal the most technologically advanced and elite force in the world. From air to land to sea, the nation's arsenal includes, but is not limited to, surveillance aircraft, laser-guided bombs, attack submarines, stealth bombers and Tomahawk missiles. .

As a given, the world's strongest military, in any new war, would enable it to use new technologies. According to Washington Post reporter Greg Schneider anywhere from a "lexis-nexis-style online search system for intelligence documents to a new sniper rifle that can penetrate light armor from nearly a mile away, technologies developed since the Persian Gulf War would help (the) U.S.fight an unpredictable foe." .

Another reality that weighed towards a possible military intervention was that the Taliban, Afghanistan's terrorist harboring ruling government, has a small, scattered military. According to MSNBC.com's "The Afghanistan Files," though accurate numbers for troops are unavailable, it boasts "between 40,000 and 50,000 lightly armed infantry.10 Su-22 fighter-bombers, 5 MiG-21 fighters, 10 transport helicopters, (and) 40 cargo airplanes.
