i've been here for 6 months now, and this is as close as anything as got to me.

and btw... did my 6 in the military. Glad i did it. wouldn't want to do more than 6 though...

The next safe time you have go to a nearby Afghan clothing store and ask for a bombers jacket and see what they offer you. lol

most of the people here are not radical. the merchants just want to make a living without all the hassle.

taliban wants chaos and no government so they can control the multi billion dollar opium business. they pretend they are doing it in the best interests of their religion. there are many parallels with what is going on in Mexico right now...

Glad to see you are still safe.
Yeah I remember reading about that, something like 80% of the opium in the world comes from there. Nice to know that it's a bigger business than oil, more revenue, less overhead.

And pretty pretty flowers. lol You know it was a long time of watching The Wizard Of Oz before I realized that scene in there where they were all running through the flowers and the Wicked Witch was saying something about poppies poppies will put them to sleep.

C'mon now. Really? Who can blame the witch? I mean if a crew of four were trampling through your opium fields?
