Musings of the Chronologically Challenged™ Fourth Generation

 
WHAT AFGHANISTAN?

The war is over. The Taliban has disappeared. Freedom rings. Things are fine in Kabul. Right? NOT. One wonders why the major media does not update us more on circumstances in that beleaguered land. Out of sight, out of mind? Maybe I don't explore the media thoroughly enough, but what I learn about current life in Afghanistan seems to be from foreign sources. The human spirit survives in Afghanistan, but still needs a lot of nurturing. Here is a report that is both disheartening and uplifting - and should be read by every American who is as ill-informed as I am. "Was It Worth It?" is rather lengthy, but not tedious.
