<<Assist us or be obliterated>> - sheer rubbish and I expect you know it - have you read that they have demanded billions in aid ($300 billion?) and help to solve the boundary dispute with India over Kasmere. 'Rag' hardly fits the Independant or Guardian, 'appeasement'is a convenient label for an opinion which doesn't fit your own. I don't know your nationality so I won't enquire whether your country favoured appeasemnt at the time of Munich - but I would guess that that is a stone that had better be left unturned? One country was overwhelmingly isolationist and therefore appeasing. It's conveniently forgotten that in Britain appeasment had overwhelming support - Churchill had few allies - but at least in Britain the debate had real meaning as they were in the front line. With 20/20 vision everyone is against appeasement but Churchill was one of the very few who was actually against it during the German re-armament.

I'm wondering about the following scenario - what happens if Afghan hands over Bin Laden within 3 days - who will the US attack then? All of this energy and expectation surely has to be satisfied?
