Clark, it has been a long time since you posted here on SI, and the joy of seeing your always wise words, is unfortunately, darkened by the events that bought you back. I agree that a straight land attack in Afghanistan is quite difficult (but no longer impossible). I think that if our own leaders understand that terrorism requires support, not just a base from which to operate, but great financial support, they will enlist, not just the defense department and the spooks, but the accountants and the finance men. Money leaves a trail, and money spigots can probably be shut off, so I hope that our leaders will not forget to use brains not just brawn.
Come visit more often...
