From: "Robert G Lewis" 

Now Mark go ahead and admit we don't currently have warlords in the US, we
do have bad bad people though. ( of course Gary B. might think of the
Democrats in Chicago as warlords )

I do think we are making progress in Afghanistan towards democracy. I'm not
sure if it is the brilliance of our leadership or the fact that we are so
wrapped up in Iraq ( okay you know how I feel about it ) but I do
think we may be helping in Afghanistan. Its a start anyway.
