1. I guess all the Afghans alive in 2001

are dead now. Thats strnage because I thought I heard 90% of Pakistan thinks 9 11 was an inside job. Afghans must think the invasion is about opium.

2. Not too surprising IMO

Afghanistan

Literacy:
definition: age 15 and over can read and write
total population: 28.1%
male: 43.1%
female: 12.6% (2000 est.)

Internet users:
500,000 (2008)
country comparison to the world: 107


A significant majority of the Afghan have limited access to information about world events. Education is largely religious based where actual facts historical facts matter little

3. Its a puzzle

why the US smarty pants military with all their strategic plans and high-tech weaponry can't just whip those pathetic backward peasants into submission, isn't it?

4. The only puzzle is
