...injuring four, and highlighting once again the devastating decline in security that has wracked Kabul over the past year. Windows shattered under the force of the explosion across the tony district of Wazir Akbar Khan, home to several embassies and foreign aid agencies. The bomber, who rammed his explosives-laden vehicle into a convoy of armored land cruisers taking foreign forces through the neighborhood, appeared to be targeting U.S.-led coalition soldiers. His vehicle was completely incinerated; all that remained was a charred gasoline engine. Two of the three land cruisers were extensively damaged - testament to the force...
...hardly motivating, even among the famously pragmatic American electorate. Trumpeting efficiency rarely panned out in other countries: Britain’s National Health Service, created by a Labour government in 1947, was in large part a response to the collective hardships suffered during World War II, not to statistic-laden arguments from economists...

Historically, they have faithfully served Pakistan, but since 9/11 their loyalty has been sorely tested. Osama bin Laden, al-Qaeda and the Taliban are holed up in Pashtunistan, on both sides of the remote, mountainous, impenetrable Pakistan-Afghan border - the rear base they use to wage jihad on Islamabad and Kabul. Al-Qaeda has at least the implicit support of the local Pashtuns, and, inevitably, Pashtuns are dying, both at our hands and the Pakistan army...
