>> this argument amounts to repeating Good point! On one hand we have the president of Afghanistan. He is a US citizen and an ally. He has every reason in the world to tow the WH line. And yet, he feels the WH is so wrong on Iran, that he goes out of his way to negate Bush in public and to give medals to the Iranian ambassador. On the other hand, we have people who never saw a war they didn't like. People who did their best to make mountains out of mole hills and use anything from plagiarized student paper to outright forgery to "prove" their derive for the war. People who viciously attacked anyone who opposed the war as a coward, unpatriotic, or downright corrupt...and after all that, the same people were proved wrong. So you are right, whom should we believe?

<The Iranian shaped charges are hard evidence> I'm trying to find a picture of one of these, can you help me out ? If it says "made in Iran" on the side all the better. I know of two Canadians back from Pashtunastan who say defused devices bear no markings indicating origin they although construction details are generally similar. These IEDs have been used in Afghanastan for years, there is nothing new about them. The only thing new is the US media blitz. Hard evidence is what you claim, I'll call. Show your cards or fold. wg PS - ever hear of the Panzerfaust ? Not exactly new technology nowadays.
