Do you think, that in order to calm down Karsai after the latest Taliban attack that killed so many people, and his trip, here, to squawk to Obama and Clinton, that General McKiernan, is the fall-guy? This business of wars being waged against a vicious enemy not supposing to have civilian casualties, especially, Muslims casualties, regardless of what they do to provoke us, or Israel, or citizens of Western European countries they attack, threaten and terrorize, is ludicrous. Karzai's approval of the barbaric treatment of women and girls -innocents all-encoded in the Islamic Laws the Afghans have adopted as their body of laws presents a double-standard.The Taliban endanger innocent civilians for terror, to change and force laws onto the women and girls,such as the poisoning of the girl's school revealed ,yesterday, and to conquer and intimidate the population into doing what they want it to do. Karsia's brother is, also, a huge drug dealer , I understand.
Thank you for all you are doing,
