serious procrastination

so I know several of you have been the victim (i mean recipient) of a rant from me about the situation in Afghanistan. For those who haven't.... if you think the situation is getting better there, well... you're wrong.

how wrong?

This new Frontline doc does a nice job of summarizing the current situation. Also a good overview is this piece from Foreign Affairs (also good fun for great game participants from last year) and this report from CSIS (they're also adding a new report in the next few weeks).

Basically not only is the situations limited by being underfunded and lacking personnel, it is also just an inherently more chaotic situation then Iraq, and that's before you add in the interested parties otherwise known as Iran and Pakistan on either boarder.

perky company, aren't i?
