Karzai Begs NATO to Send Troops to Afghanistan Now

Can you blame him? Afghanistan is in such terrible shape, probably several orders of magnitude worse than when we first entered it in October 2001, that it almost makes Iraq look like a vacation resort by comparison. We've done a terrible thing in Afghanistan, and more than once.

There is widespread bloodshed already, well in advance of the planned September elections there. Just having a voter registration card is like holding your own death warrant.

I just hope Jeb Bush isn't taking notes about how to keep unwanted voters out of the booths in November. Smirk.
