#1 US-led troops killed at least four people, including a teenage girl, in a raid in southeastern Afghanistan on Tuesday and a suicide bomber killed eight more in the south

Bad, bad, US soldiers. Good, good, martyr.

#2 "There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack..."

From al-Beeb
"The Taleban have named the bomber and say he was from Helmand province...The BBC's Alastair Leithead in Afghanistan says that the suicide bomber got into the building in the provincial capital, Lashkar Gah, before detonating explosives strapped to his body."

#3 Gee, who can kill the Iraqis faster -- US-led troops or the insurgents? Maybe we should just put everyone out in the Sahara Desert, and let them all kill each other. That way, maybe some world leader with half a brain would figure out another way to resolve differences besides war. To paraphrase Shakespeare, a plague on all their houses.

Gee, mebbe this should have been made in an article on Iraq, instead of one on Afghanistan?
