Finally, let's look at present wars: we see Taliban and El Quaeda and Iraqi rebels and Afghan rebels fighting with relatively primtiive weapons. still they prove to be capable to prevent vcitory to america and her Allies.

Skybird - I would say that while high technology is great, its not the primitive weapons that keep the Allies from winning - its the lack of willingness to fight this as a war.
10 B29's could end the war in Afghanistan. Each with functional remakes of a Fat Man. Each plane would fly extremely limited sorties before the problem was solved. WHY? Because when its die or rat out the terrorists - people will choose to rat out the terrorists. And for those "insurgent strongholds" - well - a few mushroom clouds and the problem is gone.
Ain't pretty, ain't nice - but then again - war isn't. Something the Allied Forces in this conflict seem to have forgotten.
