Is this being caused by the Taliban, by Islam in general, by the policies of Hamid Karzai, or is the US (as usual) conducting genocide under the cover of "warfare"?
How is it that a nation which possesses enormous mineral resources and which produces most of the world's opium poppies should be so impoverished?
By the way, do you (like me) think it's stupid to have to watch automobile advertising before the news video starts? Do the people of Acura really think that the luxuries of Mammon and compassion for starving children make good bedfellows?
