Yes...sorry....Afghanistan.....and as I said..its never good enough, fast enough, etc....even though the effort is made....I wonder how our troops would feel about your negativity....??? In fact I know three lawyers (and friends) who are on the front lines of the conflicts....two in Iraq and one in Afghanistan....and contrary to your negativity...they describe real progress and remain very upbeat and very proud about the effort of the US and the troops while acknowledging that the depths from which these countries need to be raised (due to the depravity and policies of the despots who ruled them) will insure that it is a long time before anyone compares them with Sunnybrook Farm. This is the real world...there are many concerns and issues to be juggled, needs to be balanced and we can not simply wave a magic wand and make it all better..... JLA
