	Asia Times: US lines up Afghan military alliance
		Military analysts are advising US forces not to make a ground attack on Afghanistan on their own as it is a complex battlefield for any foreign invader - as the Soviets found in 10 years of bitter and ultimately fruitless struggle.

		One setback could be the death last week of its charismatic military leader Ahmad Shah Masoud, generally regarded as the glue that kept the alliance together.

		NATO, the most powerful military alliance in the world, is going through a difficult moment, one that experts say could change the very nature of the organization.

		No other alliance in history has re-created itself for times as different as the Cold War and today's challenge to construct a Europe "whole and free." From the start of the 1990s, when NATO seemed to have outlived its usefulness, it has emerged indispensable once more to Europe's long-term security.
		Alliance leaders must now validate that promise with concrete steps, must relate the criteria for new entrants to political and strategic purpose, and must ensure that the alliance remains strong, relevant, and able to act.
		The alliance must give added life and heft to the Partnership for Peace (PFP), NATO's flagship enterprise for engaging nonmembers directly and deeply in its everyday work, providing them with much of the substance -- if not all the symbols and certainties -- of security in the years immediately ahead.
