#2 fighters stormed two areas frequented by drug users, one on the hillside and another under a bridge.

We were once adrenaline junkies.
Man meat eating Mohammed monkeys.
But there's no fight anymore!
Even the 'occupiers' of yore
have left with all their flunkies.
And now we just police...
[gives kick in druggies ass]
this here land o' lunkeys!

#6 ^ Exactly. You can almost taste the despair. And under a regime like talibaners, it is worse. Women sometimes kills their newborns out of mercy.
