I urge poeple to stay calm! There are solutions that don't involve bombing countries. The talaban have said they'de hand over Ben Laden if there is enough evidence to show he's guilty (which at the moment there isn't, just sensationalist sepeculation to sell newspapers). Give them the chance to do so, this could all be solved with out trajedy if we act sensibly.
There is still the probability of Americans being responsible (let's be honest capitilism and all that stands for it isn't very popular at the minute whith some americans/canadians, you only need to see the may-day riots for that).

"and bring them to 'justice', whatever that means. It would be typical if they make someone a scapegoat just to satisfy the American people and make us feel like justice has been served."
This is absolutly true.
THere is no reason not to "bad mouth" isreal, that country has one of the worst human rights records, and has a hell of a lot more enemies than we have, which means we get dragged into this (if it turns out to be linked to the middle east). We also side with them, we've yet to take any action on anything that isreal has done wrong, other than some token jestures, like when it invades 100meters of an arab area we just condemed it, we didn't actaully do anything.
