Attacks inevitable

Sir, - The U.S. military attacks on Afghanistan are inevitable. The Taliban has shown scant respect for international criticism or sanctions. The destruction of the Bamiyan Buddhas is an example.

Osama bin Laden's links with the terrorists who carried out the WTC bombings have been established. Recently, his associates involved in the bombing of American embassies in Africa have been convicted.

Osama and his men killed not just American citizens, but people of other nationalities too. If Osama can strike at America, he can strike at India too. Or for that matter at the Arab countries. In the interests of the Afghan people, the Taliban should be unseated.
