Governments around the world are worried, particularly those from Saudi Arabia and Pakistan to the Central Asian republics that might become targets of more powerful weapons. Iran has deployed two delegations to Kabul, offering to pay generously for American-made Stinger missiles -- the shoulder-mounted rockets can shoot down helicopters and low-flying...
