and a damn shame, that: I'll bet the fireworks show will be out of this world. Maybe it'll happen in time for the Republican convention, that would be suitably ironic.
What happens when a whole country "implodes," anyway? It sounds messy.
The Bush junta can (and will) blame this on the "failure of allies to provide troop support," til we're blue in the face, but the fact remains -and history will record- that George W. Bush diverted resources from a hostile war zone to aggressively invade a third country, unrelated to the conflict at hand. By any standard, this is irresponsible leadership. By any standard, it was a serious tactical and strategic error.
By any standard, the war in Afghanistan is a complete and utter failure. That is, unless you're a poppy farmer.

Crikey! If Afghanistan collapses, is it going to fall over on top of Turkmenistan or something?
