Well, if you are catalyst to terrorism, encourage/train/assist in attacks on Americans and/or against the United States, living abroad in our enemy's backyard, and have outright and publicly announced your disloyalty from the nation that you were originally from (a.k.a... treason), a peacefull and constitutionally respected solution will be at best extremely difficult. Not saying that the efforts should be exhausted, but when you force the hand of our leaders to take more direct action to resolve the situaiton, you're pretty much S.O.L. Guranteed, they will probably still put efforts into capturing him, like we did with Saddam. That soldier could have easily tossed that grenade into the hole and smoke that b****** to he11 and probably would have been congradulated for doing the job. However, he instead captured him. I think the situation here is that if this guy puts up a strong resistance when we move in on him, we have the green light to get on with it if pursuing efforts into capturing him will result in unnecessary loses.
