Sorry, DanW, but where are you getting your information about the US plans for war (a campaign which hasn't happened yet)? The kind of war that you are talking about is *presently* going on in Afganistan. It is being waged by the Taliban against those Afgans who do not accept their self proclaimed authority.

Maybe I'm naive. Maybe the largest military buildup since WWII is just a prelude to a big picnic in Asia. Maybe the war signals being put out by the U.S. and Britain are just harmless macho talk. Maybe all that military hardware and manpower are just for war games and not intended to be used for the real thing. But, then again, maybe not.
