No Dallas I disagree, There was no threat to any government, Afghanistan then was a rogue state, Osama bin Hiding, always a terrorist, we had a long time with all the then major powers, having high yield nukes, no matter what happened, none where ever used by any side, diplomacy took over, you can not talk to terrorists.
My thinking is: Low yield, no major fallout, land useless for a lot of years (no change there), EMP kills all electronics, hiding in a cave, no way out.

Had the USSR thought the same when they were in Afghanistan the repercussions would still be being felt. It's a nice idea in a computer game, or as the opinion of someone who will never have to make the tough choices of office, but in lots of other ways* its a fantasy tactic.
