Quote by: rmnunez  I agree with Perv, the terrain is forbidding, and although
the US has better technology and more firepower, the environment
works against these advantages.
Additionally, given the territorial disputes between Pakistan, India and China,
sending soldiers into the disputed areas where OBL is presumed
to be hiding would antagonize several countries who could all
claim to have been invaded and would each have to
react more forcefully than the next to maintain their claim. |
Don't forget to add Russia, which is still a player. And the third country you mentioned is also still at odds with America over certain things (including its support of Taiwan). Many things can hinder the US governments goals.
