afganistan

This is one of those days where I'm convinced that all things sex are a distraction from the destruction taking place by our government. We are completely addicted to war and building more military bases. STOP IT USA! Instead of destroying poppy fields (the main source of revenue in Afghanistan)how about we stop trying to control the world and take care of our own crumbling infra structure. I live on Madison Avenue in NYC and it's falling apart. It's become a pot holed country dirt road. Listen to what Tom Engelhardt says about the Af-Pak-War.

Let's start by stopping.

It's time, as a start, to stop calling our expanding war in Central and South Asia "the Afghan War" or "the Afghanistan War." If Obama's special representative to Afghanistan and Pakistan Richard Holbrooke doesn't want to, why should we? Recently, in a BBC interview, he insisted that "the 'number one problem' in stabilizing Afghanistan was Taliban sanctuaries in western Pakistan, including tribal areas along the Afghan border and cities like Quetta" in the Pakistani province of Baluchistan.
