(snip) On Saturday, villagers returned to their homes and local children gathered shrapnel left over from the fighting. Three houses were badly damaged, and one local farmer, Mohammad Naseem, 40, moaned that his poppy crop was ruined because of a 16-foot-wide crater in the field.

My personal belief is that every addict to every hard drug in this nation ought to be given their weight free in and hard drug that their little hearts desire. Free and legal for 24 hours only.

Invest in body bags.
