A few things:

1. As I said, we're not bombing anyone yet. Remember that Afghanistan is undergoing a civil war still. As far as anyone can tell right now, they're bombing themselves (or each other, as the case may be called).

2. What do the police and the good guys do in movies, guys? As soon as the bad guys do somethign evil... they go after them. Bombing Afghanistan--if bin Laden and/or the Taliban are, in fact, the culprits--is a proportional, direct, and correct response.

Note: That's _if_ they're culpable. Also, I don't believe the Palestinians are culpable here--there've been no signs they are. They're just celebrating it.
