The New Dark Ages
I am alone in thinking that the humanitarian disaster in Afghanistan is bringing out the worst in Americans. If I have to fight one more person over a “serves them right” comment, I swear I’ll give up and leave this country. These are human beings – have you seen the pictures of those thousands of little kids and old people totally disorientated, having lost every possession – caught up in one of the worst man-made crises in the world, and all you can say is it’s good enough for them. That really sets us as a people back in the same dark ages that those rulers of Afghanistan have obviously never left) and puts us up there next to the bad guys we quite rightly condemn out of hand.
