Is Afghanistan better off now than it was under the Taliban?
In terms of treatment of women, children, educational standards, etc. It brings me to utter tears when I hear of the completely atrocious acts that the Taliban committed, executing in the streets, forbidding women from getting an education. This is not what Islam stands for, may those people who did wrong be punished for their [...]

Why is Obama and his gang attacking McChrystal instead of supporting him?
When MacArthur and Truman had their confrontation it was MacArthur’s arrogance but this time Obama is at fault not the Gen. Using Gates and the media to put down McChrystal is wrong. We need to win not waste lives in Afghanistan. They picked the guy so they should support him.
