I think it makes a lot of sense to strike the Taliban's military capability
from above - this will spare many commandoes lives.  One of the things you
have to consider is that helicopters at some point have to go in as well as
other low-flying aircraft.  The near-ground military capability has to be
diminished to lessen the destruction they can/will do to those close to
them.  It will also help the Northern Coalition/other fighters.
