Well, I think it's really too early to say good or bad. It is encouraging though. Also, Pakistan has put a freeze on terrorist funds. That may be the best way to attack them. Stop their funding. Only time will tell how things go.

I agree!
Let's not forget the "Begal Tiger" to Pakistan's south If India thought it was in their self-interests ie; drive a wedge between the USA and Pakistan I'd bet the farm they would do it. So we have the Pakistan Govt. by the short hairs. With luck this Ultamatum will produce Usama Bin Laden.

The Northern Alliance, Afghani rebels, Have offer to help. I beleive this are some of the folks that were fighting the USSR and were losing until the USA started giving them "Stinger missles" to shoot down the MI-24 Hinds attack helos.(maybe the wrong designation) 15,000 battle hardened troops, and an additional 15,000 reserves that KNOW THE LAY OF THE LAND.
I just love it when a plan comes together!

yes they are in a tough spot, then again, if you have to have a country really PO'd at you who would you really rather have? The worlds only remaining super power? so some second rate country with a government that is only recognized by three other countries? The USA can do a lot to sweeten the pot for Pakistan to help them make their minds up.

Why the Pakistan Government wants to go to war, or is prepared to, with Afghanistan over a matter that the US are'nt even sure about, I have no idea.
They dont even know bin Laden did it!
