...mothers so judgmental of one another? Because they feel so stressed out about how they're doing. You take the time to lose your mind completely only if what that person says attacks some sort of core about yourself. If you live your life one way, and I live my life another, that's fine. But if the differences are how we're raising our children, and if you're right and I'm wrong, then I could be screwing up the most important thing in my life.

It's been an open secret for some years now that the U.S. deems President Hamid Karzai incapable of delivering the sort of governance essential to winning the war against the Taliban. His administration is notoriously corrupt, dependent on the support of unsavory warlords - some of whom are no more inclined to allow girls to go to school than is the Taliban - and may possibly even be in league with drug traffickers.
