<So you are pretty sure that in a fair auction the Afghans would lose the bid on all of Afghanistan??>

I think that in a fair vote, Osama and the Taleban would be sent packing, along with all the other foreigners who use and abuse the Afghans, but they'd be happy to keep a constitution and UN protectorate from 'outside'.

Nearly all people on earth primarily love:

Family,
Friends,
Fun,
Eating,
Intellectual and physical challenge,
Purpose.

They don't like fighting, murder, theft and mayhem.

Living under a UN Protectorate is a good way of achieving that. I'm in favour of it for New Zealand and we don't even have civil strife and mayhem to contend with. It would enable free trade in a family of UN nations [so losers such as Bill Clinton couldn't sign our right to trade and earn a living away]. It would simplify international relations and management of international resources. It would provide a judicial platform [such as the judges who are trying Milosevic]. It would do a lot of stuff.

An aircraft's GPS navigation couldn't be jammed or faked because there are lots of satellites and to send signals from space is not in the ability of Osama and his boxcutting gang. There is also inertial navigation and other tricks to identify position.

If jamming was easy, the Tomahawks wouldn't be landing right on target.
