The price of freedom

Daily attacks by suicide bombers. A call for more troops to maintain security. A U.S. appointed government retains power when elections are delayed because of security concerns. The toll of dead and maimed is rising. The infrastructure is non-existent, insurgents and warlords control large swathes of the country. The U.N. and other aid workers from humanitarian agencies are withdrawn as their workers are systematically targeted and killed.



Sound like Baghdad before it was granted freedom this week? Guess again! It's Afghanistan today, two years after we liberated that country.
