Is Afghanistan more of an issue for us than Iraq?
Just reading about the latest casualty in Afghanistan. Read more here.It made me thing about how I seem to be reading more about that hell hole lately as regards British fatalities. I've thought for a while now that the death toll in these countries seems to be going up and up yet our coverage of the Lebanon and Blair's latest totalitarian gimmick seems to make it seem like everything is going smoothly. Especially with our strategic withdrawals from certain areas in Iraq.
Yet, the news from both these areas is not looking too good. Certain areas in Iraq are still no go areas, Sistani is no longer listened to, Sadr seems to be making a name for himself and that is not good. Afghanistan looks good to have a record opium crop next year. In the meantime our wonderful leaders tell us everything is going OK.
