Bomb attacks in two Afghanistan provinces have left at least 25 people dead, officials say.

In the southern province of Zabul, a roadside bomb killed 12 civilians, mainly women and children. A separate ambush killed six security workers.

In Laghman, an eastern province, seven people including a mayor, bodyguards and villagers were killed by a suicide bomber, the interior ministry said.

Officials said a 14-year-old boy detonated explosives strapped to him.

1. Well
It is obvious, isn't it? We need to send 250,000 more troops over there, although that might not be enough. Lets send 500,000.

And of course, we need to send more money, too. I can't believe the half-assed measures we have taken, it's like we aren't serious.

We're gonna need a draft to do all that because we sure can't afford to pay all those troops, house, feed then and give them weapons, trucks and recreation items like phones so they can call momma and brag about how great things are.

Time we get off our ass and just do it!! Save the world!! Yeeehah!!
