...civilians; many prefer to believe that the attacks were the work of the CIA or the Mossad, and that the 15 hijackers were unwitting players in someone else's plot. "They were just bodies," a senior government official says. Spend an evening in Jidda, the hometown of Osama bin Laden, where young Saudis today flock to American chain restaurants and shopping malls to loiter away the stifling summer nights, and you rarely hear bin Laden's name. "They find it silly when people talk about al-Qaeda," says journalist Mohammed al-Kheriji, 28, as he sips a latte...

Or does the threat become a blessing, keeping people united against a common danger and forgiving of leaders who face challenges greater than figuring out how stock-option grants should be handled on balance sheets? "If they find Osama bin Laden's body," says a Republican close to the White House, "that'll push everyone back 10 to 15 feet."

Is it because they will feel let down if the almighty U.S. government doesn't capture, try and put him to death? We are a nation obsessed with vengeance. And this is the same emotion that drives terrorists like bin Laden. I hope he's dead, but if he is alive, I hope he is never caught. I do not want to see the U.S. as hell-bent on vengeance and barbarism as the terrorists...
...Bin Laden was raised in Saudi Arabian affluence and has spent much of his life that way. I believe he is living somewhere in the kind of comfort allowed by his wealth. If you think he and his entourage are living an ascetic life in a dismal cave, you are mistaken. CORDELL PUCKETT Albuquerque...
