A random thought

I was just thinking today about how people comment on things they know nothing about. I read news stories about Afghanistan (usually full of very incorrect and exaggerated information) and then I read comments from the readers. I am quite shocked when I read things like, "the US should just carpet bomb the whole place and get out of there!" First of all, I think what people clearly don't understand is that we are NOT at war with Afghanistan or the Afghans. We are at war with the Taliban and terrorists. Most of the bad guys who are here are insurgents. That means they are Foreign to Afghanistan! Would you carpet bomb innocent women and children because THEY are being invaded? Just a thought...
