I agree with your assesment of Arabs. Unfortunately, Afghans are not Arabs...

Bin Laden is Arab of course - supposedly another 5-10k more Arab fanatics there (could be more - but some are fighting for the Northern Alliance).

If this comes down to limited ops with small arms the Afghans are going to be tough. Hopefully that will not be the case - this should not become a police action - it should be seek and destroy.

Whether that's the case or not we will see. If our "allies" have their way it will be.

I'm counting on Powell, Rice, Cheney and Bush to realize that this needs to be total war. If we need to go it pretty much alone than so be it.

At least 4 of our NATO "friends" (Norway, the Netherlands, France and Luxembourg) are already hedging...

IMO, we should have vaporized Kandahar tuesday night... that would have made a statement - innocents or no.
