Corrupt Afghan government is as big a problem as the Taliban. So remind me again why young Canadians are dying to keep them in power. Has there ever been a 'government' in Afghanistan that wasn't a bunch of gangsters fronting up to meet the 'international community's laughably low standards for being recognised as such? Will another few hundred dead Canadians change that? Heck as like.

Date: 2009-01-19 08:54 am (UTC)Heard a thing on BBC World Service about how the Taliban has declared girls can't go to school in Swad province in *Pakistan.*
And so girls' schools are being closed.
I was wavering between tears and anger so intense I wanted to take a Louisville Slugger to something.
