A South Korean woman held hostage with 21 others in Afghanistan has pleaded for help to secure their release. The woman, who identified herself as Yo Syun Ju, told the BBC by telephone she was "sick and in a terrible situation". "Tell them to do something to get us released," she said in an interview carried out in the presence of the Taleban militants holding her captive. A group of 23 Koreans was abducted one week ago. The kidnappers have since killed one of the hostages.

Foreign Minister Song Min-Soon said earlier Saturday that South Korea would withdraw the 200-strong peace-keeping force from Afghanistan by the end of the year as planned.
I'm going to put forth a theory:
I submit that you cannot defeat terrorists by fighting a clean war.

If not for that, we could just nuke it, and be done with the whole damn lot of them.
Why does the presence of oil stop us from doing just that? In fact, if we nuke it to the ground, moving in and taking the oil afterwards should be quite simple.
Like I said in an earlier post, we cannot win this war by fighting a clean war or a nice war.

No we can’t. But we still have the rest of the world to deal with. And there are some heavy hitters out there. Mostly friends of Iran, come to think of it. You know. China, Russia. Neither are pussies. And neither are going to sit there twiddling their thumbs while the US takes down, and takes over the ME, and all of her oil fields.
