Polls Open in Afghanistan
« on: October 09, 2004, 02:35:16 PM »
Afghanis, Americans, everybody else who helped kick the Taliban out, you should be proud today.  For the first time since the USSR ****ed them 25 years ago, they are getting a real shot at putting their country back together.  I know there are several people here who served over there, big to you guys, well done.

because i served with them there and id find it inconsiderate to list only the americans who got killed kicking the taliban and al qaeda out of their positions of power in afghanistan. i knew a couple of the canadians personally and the others id met more than once.

The 15 pulled out during the vote claiming election fraud. Not sure where that leaves the viablility of the elections.
