It is. We shouldn't have done nothing. We should have sent in special forces to take out the threat, not missiles to kill innocent civilians in an attempt to "force" the Taliban to give him up. Instead of eliminating the threat, the missile attacks made it worse.
I don't blame Clinton (entirely) as he was probably not the mastermind behind the strikes (I'd say attacks, which would be completely accurate, but then they sound like a terrorist plot, and that's not exactly what I'm trying to convey -- isn't it great how the media uses and codifies key words to make us believe what they want us to?). I would guess that he (and all presidents) had foreign policy advisors whispering in his ear about what the threats were and how to deal with them.
