Dear Craig

It's what I imagined. Afganistan was a quagmire for the Russians. 

A punitive sally will be very hard succeed in. It's not just the 
terrain.  Attacking terrorists is like attacking mercury. A hammer 
blow just spreads it. It needs to be a careful mopping up, across 
many borders, with much cooperation from many other countries.

Very hard and not speedy.

Tom
