Another group of people (politicians, members of the military) are involved in another (more complex) chain of critical events which leads to the deaths of countless young children (and their siblings and parents) at the hands of the said people.

Guess which one has the media calling for heads to roll, people to be fired, and provoked a response from the Prime Minister stating he would do ‘everything in his power’ to ensure another innocent child would not be killed?

The discussion on Afghanistan is opened with an interesting question, will Afghanistan become Obama’s Vietnam?

And here is a claim from the Indy report above that shouldn’t surprise anyone: all four of the aid workers killed by the Taliban (or those who ally themselves with the group) in the past two months have been women.

Britain is supportive of these moves. I am guessing here, but it is possible the US does too, but given the focus on the presidential election no one is willing to openly say so.

I recommend reading some commentary from people who may actually know what they’re talking about.
