I’m getting tired of hearing how Afghanistan is a righeous war.  It’s little different from Iraq, except hat the people who attacked us were once headquartered there.  But their leaders are now in Pakistan, not Afghanistan.  And, as bad as the Taliban are, they did not attack us; their mistake was providing safe haven for al Queda.  I don’t know if that’s really a good reason for our soldiers dying there and for them killing many innocent civilians.  The real reason we are there is that giant oil pipeline that runs through it.  And the real reason Bush doesn’t go after al Queda where they are now is that Pakistan has The Bomb; and there is no oil to steal.

Unfriendly “Friendly” Fire.  President Karzai attributed it to “a lack of communication”.  Isn’t that the case about ALL problems, whether familial, or between neighbors or the wars between nations. We can always extrapolate from the microcosmic world to the macrocosmic and for this reason WAR is FOLLY and those idiots who lead us into war are not worthy of leadership.
