I'm not really bent out of shape over what's in the Afghanistan constitution. I
look at TV pictures coming out of Kabul and see women walking around without
those god-awful head-to-toe robes on, and I see girl children in school being
educated, and that's enough of an improvement for me to not worry too much about
how they're going to pray. That's their choice anyway.

Well, yeah, Karzai (sp) is the mayor of Kabul, not the president of
Afghanistan. However, my point is still valid in that American's died
so that they can have a constitution in Afghanistan that says Islam is
the Afghanistan religion. I don't think that was one of the goals of
the war.

Look at this phrase in the Afghanistan constitution:

'It says Islam is Afghanistan's religion and "no law will be made
which will oppose the principles of Islam".'

Yeah, some democracy. However, a certain party is declaring (cough
cough) "Mission Accomplished."


I think you're confusing the two conflicts.....I don't believe anybody
claimed
the war in Afghanistan was over. OBL is still running around loose and,
according to 60 Minutes, the only part of Afghanistan that's reasonably safe
is
the area around Kabul. The rest of the country is apparently still no-man's
land, with the Taliban and war lords fighting over some parts, and opium
(and
heroin) producing poppies growing everywhere.

Do we pick our wars, or what!!!
