Pay No Attention To That Afghani Behind The Curtain
Putting the debacle in Iraq aside, at least the administration still has a pretty firm hand on Afghanistan, right?
Right?
Oh -- wait.
Doctors Without Borders, which has provided life-saving medical aid to Afghanistan through the Soviet occupation, the rebellion of the mujahadeen, and the rule of the Taliban, announced that it was pulling out of the country because it has become too dangerous. Five of the organization's aid workers were gunned down on June 2. So far, no one has been charged with those killings, and the group said it had little confidence that President Hamid Karzai's government could protect it from warlords and resurgent Taliban fighters. The aid agency has pulled out of only one other nation - North Korea.
