So what answer is there? Education. Stimulation of economy. Bottom line, if the general populations of these countries are prospering, the risk falls dramatically. Which is not to say that I'm advocating giving anyone money - we're in shit enough shape as is. But educating the growing generations, making sure internet reaches everywhere, driving crime down, and most importantly, getting rid of corruption in the higher echelons of governments will eradicate the threat.

As for going into Pakistan to get the bin - I have a feeling that most law-abiding sensible Pakistanis were cheering for the U.S. The presence of Taliban in the government shows that there is some serious corruption there. The system is lacking order and radical element flourished in this atmosphere. Again, we need to go after the corruption and the lack of education.

Screaming "Threat! Threat! Threat!" hardly helps anything - only makes the all out military conflict more imminent. That's how they got their numbers up over there, no? More or less, but all the soldiers of Taliban and such think they are protecting their countries from the "bad American invaders".

Mommy, can we get the glass one? can we? can we? That's when Dad says, no but we'll get you that pack of fridge magnets for $5.

Cost will be the restrictive factor on all that tech, not the inventiveness or technical limitations. Same reason we don't all have LCD windows that can be electrically tinted. They were invented in the last century but cost a freaking fortune.
