Well it looks to me as if they stand to make a considerable profit if people actually pay for the action kits. However, insofar as most of us aren't sending dollars, it is simply a public education campaign with the intent to manipulate the US government. Seems to me that for very little expenditure the US military could take care of him, which I suspect is what Obama has in mind. Even though I don't think the US needs to police the world, it seems reasonable to smack a fly sometimes. I do wonder if eliminating him will eliminate the culture he has created, or if someone else will step into the same role in the vacuum created by his removal. It may not be as simple as removing one man.... and US involvement could create a backlash much as our involvement in the Middle East has done. Hard to know anything for sure... but I do trust Obama. He wouldn't get involved unless he had good intelligence on the question and a reasonable expectation of longterm success.
