this trip to Afghanistan just reminds me of how fucked up [View all]

[cali]

everything is.

It reminds me of how cynically politicians use people and situations and countries to maneuver for advantage over their political opponents.

It reminds me that Afghanistan is a horrible fuck up.

It reminds me that women in Afghanistan still live cruel, brutal lives.

It reminds me that our government is politely pretending that Karzai isn't hideously corrupt.

I'll be voting for the President in November, but I gotta say; I don't see this trip as that much different than shrub's plastic turkey trip to Iraq.

Both jaunts leave me nauseated.
