Can we return to the topic at hand - the murder of 80 Afghans. I can definitely see a developing pattern of mass slaughter of crowds of civilians by suicide bombers in markets, gatherings etc.

Nice Pict's but off topic isn't it?
Well most of the furor has died down over the event and as I thought there was the usual "outrage" about supporting a regime that condons 'dog fighting". I wonder if we as a country will ever get past the initial "gut reaction" to tragic events. In my mind the event was about a large loss of life during a event (that although to current western standards is considered barbaric) the loss of HUMAN life was considered secondary ( by many vocal groups) to the fact they were gathered at a dogfight. Conclusions were reached as people used this event to further add to their belief that we should not be there. Then a short time later all gone and forgotten left to sit on the backburner until this event is used out of context to justify not being there. The whole thing reminds me of my favorite Quote. " Never underestimate the power of people to be stupid"
