the former , and I'm pretty sure a former Soviet-block country like
Tajikistan, or any other country in proximity to the Subcontinent,
would not really allow U.S military presence on it's soil.
You mean like say [[Uzbekistan]]
That would make it appear as if America was supporting
the King-who
has always been viewed as somewhat of a dictator.
When has that worried the US in the past?
These would not have evoked as strong a reaction in
the U.S as the
killing of 3000 Americans ON American soil would.
So they can get around that by campianing and the like.
As for WMDs- it is
not really all that easy to "plant" them without the act being
noticed.
Heh you don't know much about analytical chemistry do you. Plently of
fairly trivial ways to do it. You could probably just spray
Methylphosphonyl difluoride onto a pipe that the Weapons inspctors
wanted to cheack or the like. A lot less complex than trying to plant
explosives in the twin towers.
The Iraqis are not foolhardy enough to actively provoke the U.S by
shooting down one of the latter's planes.
They did. They also tried to do so repeatedly.
Also, by analysing the
plane's flight-path it would be obvious that the pilot did not make
any effort to dodge the missile. Also the lack of flares (used to
avoid heat-seeking missiles) or chaffs would be noticed. Thus, it
would be obvious that the American pilot was not making any effort to
evade the attack-a very unusual occurence indeed. More importantly I
doubt whether the U.S. airforce has a kamikaze squadron.
So? Cut a few wirers and the pilot would never see the thing comming.
There would be various other methods. Send a B-52 over for example.
