One problem to the coming US attack against Afghanistan...Since Pakistan has refused to allow US ground forces to enter the country, we are going to have to invade Pakistan in order to get to Osama Bin Laden and overthrow the Taleban in Kabul. The only problem with that is that Pakistan is a nuclear power with at least 25 deliverable nuclear weapons atop MRBMs and IRBMs and carried by fighter bombers. If we invade Pakistan, we will likely start World War III and it won't be pretty. So unless we can get Pakistan or decide to do a Desert Storm against Iran on the way to Kabul, we may have to settle with dropping off the 82nd Airborne in hostile territory or Special Forces in northern Afghanistan to rendevous with the 15,000 Northern Alliance troops to train and arm them against the Taleban.
