Your *smaller stones* post said: "Afghanistan's new justice minister (as 
reported recently by Noam Chomsky)"  And now you say he "really isn't 
turning his attention on the new Afghani government?"  It must be comforting 
to be so blind.  Thinking is so taxing.

He SO wants the US to be a failure.  But as I said, our main mission is 
military, though we do support the humanitarian efforts and the long-range 
goal of stabilize government so we don't have to do this again.
