errr... but taking the analogy further - wasnt it America that built the
factory in the first place? who do you think it was trained, armed and
funded the mujahedin (sp?)?

These are nuclear weapons we are talking about here. How do you think the
fallout of these devices will affect the innocent afghans America *seems* so
concerned about? The fallout and residual radiation would decimate the
people far more than the many deaths and injurys from old minefields already
covering most of afghanistan.

Taliban are a corrupt regime no doubt about that, but why make the afghans
suffer even more?
