The UN is investigating this but from everything I have read, no one honestly thinks it was widespread or an organized effort.
BTW, a couple of Afghans gave their lives protecting ballots...think about that.

GWB has flown in the face of foreign policy, and changed the way the world looks at the USA, probably forever. I disagree with how this has gone down, even if casualties are "tactically and operationally insignificant". Is the 200+ billion he has spent on the war, also insignificant?
I resent that my tax payer dollars go to that, and I resent that our country is made to look the fool in the eyes of the world, all for a folly of an excuse like "They've got WMD, we've got to go get them."

I personally could care less if the rest of the western world feels slighted...They thought we were too heavy handed with the Soviets during the 80's too.
Its 120 Billon and we are a very rich country we will be ok
