Doctors without Borders leaving Afghanistan
This was a story late last week I believe, and I don't remember the talking heads mentioning it much...But last night I was listening to AAR, and they had someone on around 10pm, don't remember the name, who was saying that Doctors without Borders stayed in Afghanistan during the war with USSR, and the Taliban regime...but now, that we 'liberated' them, it's become way too dangerous. How sick is that? These are brave people, they were able to do their good work during a war, and a brutal regime...but things have gotten so out of hands now, that it's not bearable anymore.

Scary time we live in.

2. Thanks to our "help".
We've managed to return Afghanistan to the good old days of it being a drug running bandit nation.
