THe key thing to watch in the days to come is the response from the Islamic world. Even though many in those countries despise the west in an all out conflict with the West they do not have a chance.

Pakistan must shut down the Koran and Kalahnikov training schools that have been providing many of Talibans fighters as well as Bin Ladens Al Qaeda. My guess is, if there is any surprise military strike from the west this is where it will be. These are all openly funded from Saudi Arabia and other middle east countries. THis must stop. Mullahs and other leaders openly advocating killing of Americans should be targeted, just take a hint from the Mossad. Then they might think twice before they open their mouth. We havent heard a lot from Khadaffy for a few years. Even Iran has been moving to a more moderate (seemingly) rule. I doubt very much that there will be any major military attack with massive troop movements, rather commando raids etc.

The vast majority of Afghan people probably dont support the Taliban, (I doubt they want to live in the 13th century) and I dont think they will be around for long.

We are probably going to know very little about the counter measures taken against the terrorists and their support groups, for obvious security reasons.
