Well, I guess that kind of squelches the rumour that the Tallyban no longer exist. :lol::lol:
The Taliban has been pushing hard not concerned about causalities on their part or civilians - They know the war is unpopular in many countries - So like the VC and the Tet offensive - they will keep on pushing.

yes it is heartbreaking, many families not having a happy day, and tomorrow and the next day,
it's very hard to relate to that level of sadness.

All this heart break so as Afghani women can strut around flashing thier ankles and teeth like thier American counterparts.

...and at this moment 8:10pm, we have Mr Hanky speaking live from the Oval Office promising more death and destruction for all sides.:roll:

A life filled with hate - You must have a miserable existence - along with those that have to endure that from you.

Yes, of course, lest we forget the rights and freedoms/way of life we cherish so much in the West.

Yes. I would fight if needed to, to guarantee the rights that I enjoy here. I don't shrug off the protections I'm afforded here, or the trivial rights such as a vote, the ability to attend school, work to support my family if need be, leave my husband if need be... the list goes on.

You could always move and enjoy the benefits of a Theocracy, or a Family Run Country - As Many Arab countries are turning out to be - The family hand overs are beginning in North Africa -

Why with your hate and zeal you would make a perfect suicide bomber.

No offense Karrie but I believe a battle field is the LAST place on earth a women should be...unless there to accommodate men doing the fighting.

Those rights and freedom of which you care little protect you and provide you the right to speak your mind. No matter how odious it is. So do not slap the hand that protects you.

I won't argue the conflict in Afghanistan. The only words I can think of now is May They Rest in Peace and my heart goes out to the families.

Allah Calls One Home

So sad. :-(

Well, he did give his life for his countrymen (and women) and I`m sure will be remembered as a hero.
How will you be remembered.
