Question for anyone: Is today really a victory in the war? The U.S. in recent days DID NOT want the Northern Alliance marching into Kabul....because the U.S. and allies want a broad-based coalition to run Afghanistan, and not just the N.A. My thought is that the N.A. did not want to wait for the U.S. to get its "coalition gvt." act together, and pulled a power play. With Kabul secure, now the U.S. will have to negotiate w/N.A., instead of telling them what role they will play in the next governement. N.A. may argue now, that they should be the government, since they own Kabul. Are we going to try to overthrow these guys too? I think this story is far from being written, and the war is much more complex than "we got the capital"...Powell has been adamant that N.A. not take the city yet (as has Pakistan). The tough part (and the part the Russian failed at/got their head handed to them) is going up into the caves/mountains and getting these guys, one-by-one....winning the cities is not the hard part (Russians controlled the cities during the war there). So why is getting Kabul seen as such a good thing? It was going to happen anyway. Am I missing something here?
