The troops are ready. Now the politicians must win the diplomatic offensive against the Taliban
Article Abstract:
It now seems certain that the US and its allies will take military action against Afghanistan's Taliban regime, which continues to refuse to hand over Osama bin Laden, the prime suspect in the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon. There has been extensive diplomacy, and it seems that military action will be retaliatory in nature, rather than crushing Afghanistan completely.
