So far I think our leaders are doing a fine job. This will have to be a global, multinational effort to seek out and destroy the enemy. I don't think we will have the same problem in Afganistan as the soviets. We will not have as much of the political consequence and if a multinational force can be employed to keep the battlefield geography under control. I think we will be able to avert significant casualty by the use of overwhelming force.

So from an initial perspective of just afganistan, perhaps iraq, I think we should have little difficulty. However, from a long term perspective, the financial war and the global effort to identify pockets of terrorists and their activity I feel as though will be the bulk of the war effort.

However, my largest fear is the resolve of middle eastern governments and their willingness to stand behind a protracted war or occupation inside their borders and perhaps even their alliance with us.
