Maybe you "live with it" if you don't have the means to prevent it, but 
that's not the way that the U.S. is going to handle it.

Afghanistan has sat idly by providing bin Laden with a comfortable place to 
plan and launch his cowardly attacks against U.S. citizens, and now that 
their complicity has landed them at the blunt end of non-negotiable U.S. 
demands, they want to cry foul.

As the old saying goes "Don't provoke a bear in its den."
