Joe, Okay, let's hit rewind here and hit a few high points first. I would love nothing better than to believe that America has the power to eliminate the Taliban. That regime is a blight on their country, a blight on the world, and even a blight on their religion. However, if you envision something a la Desert Storm, it's not going to work. I can't remember which general said it, but Afghanistan "sucks as a target." The terrain is rough, the infrastructure is nonexistent. Picture the U.S. army slogging through Northern Italy in World War II... only worse... I do agree that there should be a military response to bin Laden and the Taliban, but airstrikes and a ground assault aren't going to do much good. These people have been at war for 22 years. I picture a more covert series of operations over a longer period of time. You, however, didn't answer my final questions: Is collateral damage acceptable? Is it okay to take out a few innocents so long as we nail those responsible????
