| Golf in Kabul |
| 2004-06-02 |
| EFL The Kabul Golf Course is like most things in Afghanistan, a work in progress best seen in terms of potential than reality. It might seem crass to be opening a golf course when hundreds of thousands of Kabul residents still live without proper shelter, but this is the way development happens in a postwar zone. Crass, my ass. All our intel guys need something to do in between applying the cheese grater to the tally’s skull. (Sorry! I guess the secrets out now!) Schools and clinics and roads are built, electricity and water are restored, and here and there the trappings of a prosperous prewar society are revived. What happened? I thought the sky was falling? |

| #7 Just what the country needs. What a waste of water, just so lawyers and doctors can pretend to be atheletes You didn't read the article before you commented, did you? What a waste on bandwidth, just so trolls can pretend to be pundits. |

| #3 And hey the bunkers are proper bunkers I bet. If your lucky they will have a friendly "resistance fighter" in them trying to shoot at you. Its called Survival Golf! |

| #2 I thought the Brits built the original course back in the late 19th century? Sort of like one of those Russian stacking dolls - a great game inside the Great Game! |

| #1 I have this mental picture of Hawkeye and Trapper hitting one into the rough and a land mine going off. |
