On the way to India for his first visit there (which will include talks on a landmark deal on civilian nuclear trade), President Bush made his second surprise visit to US troops overseas, this time in Afghanistan, visiting with some of the approximately 19,000 US troops there, as well as President Hamid Karzai. Then it was on to India.

QUOTE: "It's in our nation's interest that Afghanistan develop into a democracy. It's in the interests of the United States of America for there to be examples around the world of what is possible, that it's possible to replace tyrants with a free society in which men and women are respected, which young girls can go to school to realize their full potential, in which people are able to realize their dreams."

I am glad you included MRS. Bush in the title...
and I am glad I didn't know about the Afghanistan stopover until AFTER he left...
Although, I do believe that someone who does this thread predicted this would happen...
I just can't remember which of you wonderful people did.
