[afghanistan] taliban at it again

Have you paused to ask why Afghanistan happens to have flared up again now, straight after Lebanon? All over the world conflicts are breaking out and heroic NATO forces immediately move in to quell the insurgents.

And western forces are currently deployed to lend a helping hand in rooting them out. Quite fortunate that they happen to be right on hand when they’re needed. Report from the front line here.
