 I realize that no outsider could run or control such a country. The
 Brits couldn't at the height of their empire. I was thinking more along
 the lines of quickly disposing of the current government and
 parachuting in the leader of the rebel party (whoever Massoud's
 successor will be).

 Now, with the calmness that comes after a few day's thought, I realize
 that even that may well be impossible. Hopefully it will not be
 necessary to even try. The Taliban is actually conferring over the
 ultimatum; they might conceivably give bin Laden up.
