I would imagine they will try and do it as quickly and as easily as possible. What we have to remember is they are trying to wipe out all terrorism so after the attacks we still may not be near the end of it all.

From bbc.co.uk
President Bush has ordered a military operation in
Afghanistan as a new front in the United States'
operation to combat terrorism.
There were reports of loud explosions and anti-aircraft
fire in the Afghan capital Kabul and the city of
Kandahar, the main stronghold of the ruling Taleban.
In an address to the nation,
Mr Bush said strikes were
taking place against training
camps and military
installations of the al-Qaeda
network in Afghanistan, and
that they had been carefully
targetted.
The Taleban, he said, would
"pay the price" for sheltering terrorists.
"In this conflict there is no neutral ground, there can be
no peace in a world of terror...," he said. "We did not
ask for this mission but we will fulfil it."
UK Prime Minister Tony Blair is also due to speak
shortly.
Earlier, the Taleban says it has sent 8,000 troops to its
border with Uzbekistan, which has given the US access
to an air base for its anti-terrorism campaign.
The US administration has repeatedly rejected Taleban
offers to bargain over the fate of its guest, Saudi-born
militant Osama Bin Laden.

Background to strikes
The US promised action after terror attacks against the
US on 11 September left over 5,600 people dead or
missing.
Two hijacked planes
crashed in the twin towers
of the World Trade Center
in New York, and a third hit
the Pentagon in
Washington.
A fourth hijacked plane
crashed in Pennsylvania.
The US was quick to name
Bin Laden and his al-Qaeda
organisation as the chief
suspects behind the suicide
attacks.
President George W Bush
demanded that the ruling
Taleban in Afghanistan
hand over Bin Laden and other suspects immediately or
"share in their fate".
And on Saturday he said that full warning had been
given and time was running out.
But despite diplomatic pressure from neighbouring
Pakistan, the Taleban refused to expel Bin Laden.
Coalition-building
The US has repeatedly stressed that their actions since
the 11 September attacks were not directed against
Islam.
President Bush has tried to
obtain support from as wide
a coalition of nations as
possible.
He said that "either you are
with us, or you are with the
terrorists".
UK Prime Minister Tony Blair
was one of the first to
pledge backing for US
efforts.
The Pakistani leader,
General Pervez Musharraf,
has also offered full
support, but he has faced
considerable opposition at
home from those opposed to any US military action.
Pakistan and Iran have agreed to open their borders to
receive refugees from Afghanistan in the event of
strikes by American-led forces.
Rumours of possible strikes have led to a major exodus
of refugees from Afghanistan.
