The assailant then proceeded to drive to the next service station and fire on a Lebanese-American worker...
...coalition, then, has to be capable of not only mustering the forces to go after Bin Laden himself, but also to sustain a consistent long-term effort to root out his cadres and their allies across the globe. And the need to establish the widest possible consensus behind a course of action may explain the furious diplomatic shuttling between U.S. leaders and their European, Russian, Pakistani, Arab and Asian counterparts underway this week...
...Sunday, President Bush called the campaign against terrorism a "crusade." On Tuesday, his spokesman Ari Fleischer apologized for the President's use of a term offensive to the Arab nations whose maximum cooperation is essential to the defeat of Osama Bin Laden and his ilk.

...apparently innocuous as "crusade" serves as a reminder of the complex geopolitical challenges involved in building and sustaining the broad coalition necessary to root out terrorism. That challenge is about a lot more than simply rounding up a posse to go into Afghanistan and arrest or kill Osama Bin Laden. President Bush may stir American feelings by invoking the image of a Wild Western "Wanted Dead or Alive" poster, but listen closely to Secretary of State Colin Powell: "Osama bin Laden is the chairman of the holding company, and within that holding company are terrorist cells and organizations in dozens...
