Here we go again. After years of fighting, lost lives, and enormous expense to western countries, the Afghanistanian government is again swallowed up in the power moves of Muslim fanatics. Honestly, there comes a point where you have to say. . . if this ridiculous brand of "religion" is more important to these people than is freedom, economic growth in the world market, education, and respect on a world level - then screw them. (Okay, that's how I feel today. . . maybe tomorrow I'll find more sympathy somewhere in my dark heart.)
