The situation in Afghanistan is only going to get worse.
When I see politicians supporting this war I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
On a positive note,more and more people are starting to see right thru the BS.

The five British soldiers killed in an attack by an Afghan police officer have been named by the Ministry of Defence.
They were Warrant Officer Darren Chant, Sgt Matthew Telford, Guardsman James Major, Acting Cpl Steven Boote and Cpl Nicholas Webster-Smith.
A "rogue" Afghan policeman has been blamed by the UK military, but PM Gordon Brown has said the Taliban could have infiltrated the police.
The dead soldiers had been mentoring Afghan police in Helmand province.
WO1 Chant, Sgt Telford and Guardsman Major were from the Grenadier Guards, while Acting Cpl Boote and Cpl Webster-Smith were from the Royal Military Police.
They had been working and living in a compound at a national police checkpoint in the Nad Ali district for the last two weeks.
Six British servicemen and two Afghan National Police (ANP) officers were also injured in Tuesday's attack.
Taliban link probed
"While we are assembling evidence, the Taliban have claimed responsibility for this incident," Mr Brown told MPs in the Commons on Wednesday.
"It may be that the Taliban have used an Afghan police member or they have infiltrated the Afghan police force and that is what we've got to look at," he said.

However, BBC Kabul correspondent Ian Pannell later said the Taliban had not admitted carrying out the attack.
Mr Brown said training of Afghan police remained an "essential element" of the strategy in Afghanistan and would not be stopped because it was "what the Taliban fears most".
"We will have to increase the number of police but it's clear we will have to increase the quality of police as well," he told the Commons.
"I would not want to draw conclusions about all the Afghan police from one single incident," he added.
William Ferrand, the uncle of Sgt Telford, said his nephew had "absolutely loved" his job training Afghan forces.
He added: "Everybody knows what a wonderful lad he was. It has devastated all of us."
Sgt Telford, of Grimsby, leaves a wife, Kerry, and two sons aged nine and four.
Paul Thundercliffe taught Guardsman Major at the Lindsey School in Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire.
"He had a cheeky smile and he always wanted to make you understand where he was coming from," he told the BBC.
"He was very forthright and as he went through the school he just wanted to get better and better at everything that he did."
