#4  Let the PLA have it. Denies strategic depth to the idiots, worries the Russ, and disperses the forces of the ever awesome Peoples Liberation Army-Navy-Air Force and discount goods centre.

#3  Well, there was Genghiz Khan in 1221, Tamerlane in 1381, the Roosians in 1979, cities razed time & again, pyramids of human skulls, etc. The country has gone from horrible to worse & back again. No wonder they're nuts.

#1  Â“Remembering AfghanistanÂ’s hopeful past only makes its present misery seem more tragic. But it is important to know that disorder, terrorism, and violence against schools that educate girls are not inevitable. I want to show AfghanistanÂ’s youth of today how their parents and grandparents really lived.”

Gee. We ought to try to figure out what happened and not let it happen ever again.
