In Afghanistan With The ISAF

October 8, 2008 |

I'm sick of writing about these elections. I think for the next month I may focus strictly on other parts of the world. These amazing pictures come from an embedded Reuters photographer in Afghanistan alongside the International Security Assistance Force, made up of 53,000 troops from 43 different nations. Enjoy:

In a recent campaign advertisement, Barack Obama announced a goal of a nuclear weapons-free world. As he describes the ways in which he will pursue that goal, let's take a minute to consider what China will be up to. Watch.

I'm sure Russia won't be far behind either, right Barry?

Tibetan Hypothetical

Forget about Iraq. Forget about Afghanistan. If tomorrow, the President came on the radio and announced that:

"The liberation of the Tibetan people is a moral imperative," and

"The region is home to one of the world's most wretched cases of human injustice and civil rights abuses" and

"The United States will not stand by the bloodshed of decent people, be it in Asia or Nazi Germany," and

"The United States Armed Forces are being deployed to the region in order to defend the people of Tibet and quell Chinese aggression..."

...how many Americans with "Free Tibet" bumper stickers would replace them with stickers that read "War is Not the Answer?"
