19. Yours is a false choice logical fallacy. The "don't anger Al Qaeda" argument is...
...a flimsy one.

What is your reasoning that Americans would not be kidnapped because bin Laden was killed? It's just silly, IMO. Al Qaeda is going to harm every American interest it can.

To posit that Al Qaeda is going to "cut us slack" for doing this instead of that is possibly the weakest argument one can make, given the group of terrorist we're talking about.
