Nandu, after the Vietnam war, there is a lot of public sentiment against the loss of US lives in military conflict. This is one thing that Osamam and his men know very well. A similar incident that caused an uproar is the bombing of the US barracks in Lebanon during Reagan. Hence the US is not ready to risk the lives of its soldiers. Having said that, they would still want to choke off the escape routes of the Qeadas and Talibanis, as you say. And the best way to do that is for the Indian army to serve as that barrier tot he escape of the Al qaedas while the US forces advanve from the Afghan side. Once the Indian military does that, then the only other route the terrorists have to escape is China. And the Chinese surely do not want to touch Muslim fundamentalism with a 10 foot pole. That the Muslim fundamentalists (against whom the UWS has launched a war) are running the show there is brought out by this article from the British newspaper, the Guardian: guardian.co.uk And for all this to happen, securing of Pakistani nukes is a very top priority in the fight against terrorism. These nukes have fallen in terrorist hands. I am hoping that with the departure of Abdus Sattar, the Pakistani Foreign minister, Pakistan will tone down some of its rhetoric of extremism. Interesting that Russia and China have openly come out against Pakistan. read it all here, a leading Pakistani newspaper: dawn.com
