It’s really quite remarkable, this news that you post. I was led to believe by a certain small simian like creature (quite bad smelling I might add)that the onl news out of that country was massive civilian casualties, resurgent taliban and breathtaking poverty brought about by the US intervention.
Perhaps I should spend more time looking at news that reflects the length and breadth of life in a country rather than just regurgitate bits and pieces that suit my narrow minded ideology.
The Afghans have problems, they have good things going on, they have neighbors who are interested in meddling in their affairs or making a buck off the place – kind of like a lot of other places in the world…it just happens that they have suffered a lot worse than many other places. They still have much to do – but it isn’t non-stop war, everywhere either.

I’m just thinking out loud, now… <hee>
