Think about it! Sure, CNN is calling them the "Northern Alliance," but to
the TALIBAN, they are the REBEL Alliance!! And the Taliban leader, aka "The
Emperor" is a shadowy figure, seldom seen who has now gone into hiding. All
his dirty work is done by a foreign nobleman (Sith Lord!) with mysterious
and awesome (financial) powers -- Osama "Darth Vader" Bin Laden!

That just leaves the question of who NATO is. I guess they're the Jedi
Council, cause they've got all these crazy weapons that nobody else has or
even understands, and they use them to see in the dark, and through
mountains and get hit with bullets but not get hurt.

Uhhhh... but... didn't the Emperor destroy the Jedi Council when he took
over the universe?? Hmmm... oh well, it's not THAT much like Star Wars, I'm
sure we'll be ok. Anyway, Joe Six-Pack is just the guy crawling over the
Death Star, welding it together, anyway.

And WE are the Spartacuses of the Star Wars of Operation Infinite
Justice!

On the other hand, you could say that the Taliban are
like the reptilian Narn, the Russians are like the
decadent Centauri, and the English are like the
annoying Mimbari. The (continental) Europeans are
like the Earth Alliance, the Chinese are the Shadows
and the Americans are the Vorlons.

The rest of the world are just stinky aliens who are
doomed races anyway and none of the major players
give two hoots about them since they are just extras
milling around in the back of the scene or being
blown up during disasters and shit.
