OT - Read Colin Powell's speech on post-war afghan policy. It is in today's news. We didn't put the Taliban or the Northern Alliance in power. We walked away once the Russians quit. Neither seem to be good for the country in general and, as I said before, we are looking for the afghan groups to get together and form a government. They are meeting in Pakistan now. You don't want to believe that our government intends to do the right thing here - once the war aims have been accomplished. I believe they will. We do not know whether special ops will be enough to accomplish our goal.
