Western Pakistan/Eastern Afghanistan

[NunYa Dam Biz]

All public opinion aside. Wouldnt a Nuetron Strike take out the cave hiding vermin?

[Takaram]

There is more than one cave. There are whole networks. The mountainous region would limit the effectiveness of any one explosive device, as can be seen with Nagasaki. The bomb dropped on Nagasaki was stronger than the first one dropped on Hiroshima, but because Hiroshima was in a much flatter region than Nagasaki, the Hiroshima device was deadlier. It would take many devices to even dream of clearing the entire region of life.

[Anime Daisuki]

All public opinion aside. Bio-chemical weapons may be more effective. Use in conjunction with nuclear weapons. Poison the land so nothing that walks on it can survive.

[Walabamba]

What a nice thought...

[Cerb]

I have to admit I was surprised at the thread, what promulgated it?

Of course, when you actually go back to what the Russians did to the Afghanis, I'm not sure that the suggestions would work.

They have traditionally been a nation that won't stay conquered for long. People have tried it since the dawn of time without long term success.

[Bad Infinitum]

Wipe it off the face of the planet and the rest of the world will fight back. It may solve all our problems right now, but there are radicals all over the planet and this sort of thing would just piss all those guys off. Bad news bears.
