****And what makes you think that there will be a complete commitment and cooperation this time over??? It is easy to pledge support it's a differnt thing to sustain it over a long period of time. Take a moment to examine this proposed coalition:
Saudi Arabia -last authocratic monarchy on the planet and a birth place of bin Lawen;
Arab Emirates -major supporter of Muslem extremist movements, most of the suspect terrorist in US hold Saudi and AE passports;
Pakistan- militry regime supporting not only Taliban but also a wide network of Muslem extremists, nuclear power, long time enemy of India;
Iran - enemy of Taliban regime but US is still right there as the second
best enemy;
Russia and China -a very finicky allies at best, can cooperate as soon as turn on you;
And those are just few examples Don...
