That's nice. The left has been busy making a noose at the same time.

I want to recommend, as an adjunct to this topic, a book by Mark Ritchie, called "God in the Pits."
Mark is legendary commodities trader who grew up in Afghanistan where his parents were missionaries.
It's a great book all around, but he tells a story about a local there he visited after he had grown up and made it big. I think the local remembered his parents, and welcomed the American millionaire into his mud-floored hut with a grace and honor that laid the author low.
It was a very touching scene, and an insight into local lore and the predicament of the Afghan peasant that you just won't get from CNN.

I hope it gets to Pres. Bush and that someone finally gets a photo out.
