Hmm, having thought about it, I reckon the first thing the US is going to do is put bin Laden top of their list, and send cruise missiles at Afghanistan until they get him..
Here in the UK, PM Blair has just made a statement to the effect that this is not about the US being at war with terrorism, but about the free democracies of the world being at war with terrorism, which is valid, but somewhat hollow, IMHO.
President is on his way back to Washington, all his events are canceled today.
