#7 This account cannot be correct.

As I read my newspaper and watch TV news, it is clear that the guerillas are sweeping over Afghanistan, seizing control of villages, roads, schools, and government building. These reports reveal massive killing of innocent Afghanis and widespread anger caused by NATO repression of the Afghanis.

Please check your facts. Almost any large newspaper or TV network will do.
