A related issue. Its coming out that Pakistan may possibly kave know Bin laden was where he was, in which case why did they not tell the US? Did they knowingly harbour one of the greatest terrorists of modern times.
We all know the US has not come out of the last few decades clean. happenings at Guintamano bay, the
Extrordinary renditions where what the US stood for went ignored, but one thing remains absolute. Without the US, Hitler would have become master of Europe and Russia, and Australia would have easily fallen to Japan, placing the entire human race under un elected dicatorship.
They say the US even launched extra spy satellites specifically to hunt for Bin laden. They even built a life size replica of the Bin laden compound in the US for the crack teams to practise and practise on. Terrorists should now know how determined the US is, to stop at nothing to hunt down those who would kill Americans especially on American soil
On subject of Astronomy, did you know that at one stage Afghanistan the war torn place we see on TV for all the wrong reasons, once had the most

The observatory was unsurpassed anywhere in the world, equipped as it was with the most modern instruments of the 15th century.

What angers me about Bin laden and the so called clerics who ruled as the Taliban before the US overthew it was what the Omir said was inscribed in the great observatory

The Taliban closed schools and forbade women from education.
It is so sad that there are war torn countries that harbour terror, that were in the past right at the forefront of human knowledge
