the shear implications of such an alliance are astounding with regard to making people feel that the two most militarily powerful nations on the planet are united... Well, there is India too. So, even with all this international muscle, the situation is tricky. Here is BBC view of the Russian concerns. news.bbc.co.uk Sounds to me like this alliance needs to continue to use the low profile approach to the problem. Getting the majority of Afghans on our side (over a period of time) would be worth the effort. From the news it seems that it wouldn't take much money and PR to separate them from the Taleban forces. Like some other posters have mentioned, we have to be careful we don't do what the terrorists want us to do....over react.
