Gosh, Afghans must be human. Who knew?What angers Afghans are not just the bombings, but also the raids of homes, the shootings of civilians in the streets and at checkpoints, and the failure to address those issues over the five years of war. Afghan patience is wearing dangerously thin, officials warn.
Here in the United States, we don't know yet that this adventure is, like Iraq, also "lost." I wonder how long it will be and how many will die before we figure that out?
