As the British, Australians, Germans, and French have agreed to "unconditional" support...I would fully expect to see a multi-national special forces attack to avoid collateral damage as much as possible. I would suspect that the French Foreign Legion might be especially effective... ------------------ Now where did I leave that doughnut?! |

'tis true, in england, our news has been pretty thorough in looking at the background causality and deeper implications of the whole sorry episode. whatever happens, while people are demanding revenge and not really thinking terribly hard about what might happen afterwards, we're all in a pretty vulnerable position regardless of personal politics.
thanks for the post sazerac - hopefully it will be read by lots of people on the forum who can then pass on some of the thoughts contained therein. |

Well posted Saz, in my opinion bombing Afghanistan back to the Stone Age would not be the best solution, but it might become the only one, what I would suggest is that a small team of elite soldiers, can't remember what the american elite soldiers are called, is it SEALs? These elite soldiers would then put a bullet through Osama Bin Laden's head from pretty far away, endangering no civilians, the Taliban "government"(More like dictators), could also be killed with some precision sniping, then, leaderless, the Taliban military forces would probably be unable to do much harm, this strategy might be impossible, but if it could be used I see it as the best one availiable, short of convincing the Taliban government to hand over Bin Laden to America, but that is impossible.

Just a comment that the US did this in Afghanistan two decades ago. That time the aid was given by the CIA to bin Laden and his mujihadeen fighters, to help get the Soviets out of Afghanistan. This has now come back to bite them. Back then communism was the big enemy. Today it's the Taliban. Will we replace one set of devils with another? And will it ever end? ------------------ [This message has been edited by Memnoch (edited 09-21-2001).] |

I think it is stupid to bomb afganistan because the land still lives in the dark ages and bombing will not solve anything they should get bin laden and not the people of afganistan
But they will not listen to me? ------------------ |
